Iceberg lettuce is mostly water and crunch, which makes this green smoothie lighter and paler than most. Parsley and green apple give it flavour, spinach gives it colour.

Spinach Parsley Smoothie with Iceberg Lettuce
Light, crisp and watery fresh with tart apple and a subtle herbal note.
Iceberg lettuce has a very mild taste and a high water content, so it adds freshness and volume without making the smoothie taste heavy or grassy. Spinach deepens the colour, parsley adds a clean herbal aroma, and a tart green apple supplies the fruit and sweetness.
The result is one of the gentlest green smoothies on the site, a good starting point if you usually find green drinks too intense. It fits breakfast, lunch or a warm afternoon.
Very little. It mainly adds freshness and volume, which is why it suits beginners.
Yes, it contains only vegetables, herbs, apple and water.
Yes, romaine is a little greener in taste and works well.
