- Now at its best: Spinach
A lively green smoothie made with apple, cucumber, spinach and parsley, finished with lemon, ginger and a touch of spirulina. It tastes fresh and herbaceous, with enough fruit to keep the green notes rounded and easy to drink.
This smoothie opens bright and juicy thanks to the apple and cucumber, and only then reveals its more herbaceous green side. Parsley brings a clean, almost garden-fresh note, while spirulina adds depth without making the glass feel heavy. Lemon and ginger sharpen everything up, making this the kind of smoothie that works beautifully on mornings when you want something light, lively and well put together.
