Rocket is not the usual smoothie leaf, but in small amounts its peppery bite works surprisingly well against sweet mango. Banana makes the whole thing thick and mellow.
10 g

15 g
baby spinach

Sweet and creamy first, then a light peppery finish from the rocket.
Rocket belongs to the same plant family as mustard and radish, which explains its peppery flavour. Used in moderation, it adds depth to a fruit smoothie, while baby spinach supplies mild green bulk. Mango and banana bring sweetness and a creamy body, so no sweetener is needed. Mango is a good source of vitamin C. The mix makes a filling breakfast or a snack after training.
In this small amount it adds a peppery note rather than bitterness. Larger quantities can taste sharp.
