| Vibrant Nettle Leaves impart the same energy to YOU when you use them in a smoothie! |
I was out in my yard this morning and spotted the ingredients for one of my favourite Spring smoothies-- planted during an effort at being more fully locavor -- Stinging Nettles! Yes, they are usually run from instead of being seeded in your own yard, but I have my healthy, gardening son to thank for this anomoly, and I do thank him.
We are very blessed to live where we do, but there are many ways to achieve the same outcomes, even if you live in an apartment in a concrete jungle of a city.
So, here is that favourite smoothie recipe:
**a handful of fresh Nettle leaves
**a cup or more of frozen Dark Sweet Cherries (or other fruit)
**6 Celery ribs, chopped
**1 small ripe Banana (or 1/4 soft, ripe Avocado)
**1/4 C. Chia seed Gel
Spin up in your high speed blender (or do up in a couple of batches in other blender) until smooth and creamy. Enjoy! And enjoy the energy spurt!
