This is a green smoothie for people who like it green. Rocket brings a peppery bite, spinach a mild freshness, and a ripe pear just enough sweetness to hold it together.

Fresh and green with a peppery rocket bite and mild pear sweetness; light body.
Rocket belongs to the cabbage and mustard family and has a distinctly peppery flavour; baby spinach is much milder. Together they give this smoothie a strong green character. A ripe pear adds juicy sweetness and some body, but the drink stays savoury rather than fruity. It is light and refreshing and suits people who already enjoy green smoothies. Beginners may prefer the spinach apple version.
Rocket adds a peppery, slightly bitter edge. The pear balances it, and a ripe fruit helps most.
