‘Atom’ smoothie

The streets of Turkey’s food-obsessed town of Gaziantep are dotted with fresh juice shops, where you can get anything from a simple nar (pomegranate) to the famous ‘atom’. Named for the energy it gives, atoms are churned out by the minute. All throughout Turkey and Greece, you will find jars of dark honey stuffed with pistachios, almonds or hazelnuts known as balli çere; what makes this smoothie so special is this spoonful of it they throw in. It is not the lightest – in fact, it could probably replace a light lunch or breakfast – but I promise you it will quickly find a place among your favourite smoothies.
