This is the greenest smoothie in the collection: spinach, parsley and spirulina, nothing sweet unless you add apple. It tastes savoury, herbal and clean.
30 g
baby spinach
10 g
flat-leaf parsley leaves and tender stems
½ tsp
spirulina powder
½
apple for sweetness (optional)
6¾ oz
water cold
Garnish: No garnish · Ice: Served up, no ice
Savoury and herbal, intensely green, with a faint sea note from the spirulina.
Spirulina is a blue-green microalga sold as a dried powder. It contains protein and iron and has a strong, slightly marine flavour, so a small amount goes a long way. Flat-leaf parsley adds a fresh, peppery herbal note and vitamin C, baby spinach body, folate and vitamin K.
Without fruit, this smoothie is savoury rather than sweet; half an apple is listed as an option to soften it. It is for fans of green drinks, best enjoyed with or before a light meal.
Earthy and slightly marine; in small amounts it blends into the greens.
It is a common food supplement; if you are pregnant or take medication, ask your doctor first.
Yes, all ingredients are plant based.
