Mango brings body and sweetness, strawberries a fresh tang, and a small portion of lamb's lettuce adds greens you will hardly taste. The colour ends up a warm coral.

Strawberry Lamb's Lettuce Smoothie with Mango
Taste
Thick and fruity, with honeyed mango, fresh strawberry and a faint, nutty green background.
About this smoothie
Mango and strawberry are a classic smoothie pairing: one thick and honeyed, the other fresh and slightly tart. Both are good sources of vitamin C, and mango also provides provitamin A. A little lamb's lettuce, one of the mildest salad leaves, adds folate and vitamin K without noticeable taste.
Because mango is so creamy, the smoothie needs no banana or milk for texture. It is naturally sweet, filling and quick to make, a good option for breakfast or an afternoon snack.
Bartender tips
Use frozen mango or strawberries for a colder, thicker smoothie.
Blend the leaves with the water first for a smoother result.
Variations
Spinach swap
Replace the lamb's lettuce with baby spinach; the taste stays just as mild.
