Wild Herbs Smoothie Recipe: Exotic Deadnettle
Deadnettle differs from the nettle primarily in the fact that it doesn't actually burn. Depending on the color, it slightly varies in its typical earthy stinging nettle flavor. The white deadnettle used here adds a touch of nectar that perfectly complements the exotic fruits and the spicy chili flavor of this green smoothie.

Wild Herbs Smoothie Recipe: Lion King
Dandelion tastes quite bitter, a small amount of dandelion leaves is already enough. This valuable herb (good for digestion!) needs a fruity-sweet counterpart, otherwise the bitter taste prevails. We combine it with lamb's lettuce, parsley, banana, pear, sweet dates (medjool dates are best) as well as pineapple and ginger.

Ingredients
- 3/4 handful of dandelion leaves and flowers
- 1 handful of lamb's lettuce

Wild Herbs Smoothie Recipe: Cherry Blossom Festival
All tree blossoms from trees that bear edible fruit are edible. If you know this, you'll happily incorporate the flavorful tree blossoms into your green smoothie. We used the floral-sweet tasting cherry blossoms - their aesthetics as a topping seduces to drink the smoothie. This is matched by the elegance of medlars with sweet-sour and fresh notes.
Wild Herbs Smoothie Recipe: "Cherry Blossom Festival"
Ingredients
- 1 handful of chickweed
- 8-10 cherry blossoms
- 2 handful of spinach

Preparation instructions for all wild herbs smoothie recipes:
Depending on the amount of water added, the wild herb smoothie recipes will yield approximately +/- 1/2 liter of green smoothie. If you prefer the smoothies more liquid, just use more water, if you prefer it thicker, only add around 200 ml of water.
Using a high-powered blender:
Since most wild herbs are extremely fibrous and have very strong cell walls, we recommend making wild herb smoothies with a high-speed blender.
Fruits that are used with peel and leafy greens should be washed properly. Peel other ingredients and cut them into coarse pieces if necessary. Add soft fruits to container first, then fill with remaining ingredients, add water until you reach your preference consistency. Blend until a uniform, creamy consistency is achieved. With a powerful blender, this should only take about 1 minute.
Without a high-speed blender:
If you are not using a high-speed mixer, you will need to work in two steps:
First step - add the leafy greens and liquid to the blender and blend for about 30 seconds.
Second step - add the remaining ingredients and blend until the smoothie consistency is as uniform and creamy as possible.
However, it is nearly impossible for a conventional kitchen blender to break up the wild herb cellulose enough to make the smoothie truly creamy. Small chunks that have not blended properly remain - a disadvantage in terms of taste.
Where do I get wild herbs for my smoothies?
If you don't have a garden and don't want to grow herbs at home, you can collect wild herbs in the wild. You can learn how to do this and how to tell the difference between edible and poisonous herbs in a wild herb tour. You can find offers for wild herb tours in German-speaking countries here.

is it possible to buy wild herbs in a store?
We only have a balcony - Thank you for your answer.
Best regards,
M. Schweizer
thank you for your comment. Occasionally, you can find wild herb salad mixes in organic stores - sometimes even in well-stocked supermarkets. Your best bet would be at a weekly market - at least that's the case here in Berlin. And if you can't find any wild herbs there, simply ask a farmer you trust if they can bring you some wild herbs.
Best regards,
Carla
Hmmmm!!! Thank you very much.
how nice, that makes us very happy. Thank you for the nice feedback,
Carla
thanks for the quick answers, I will really think about it.
But honestly, pretty much everyone should be inspired to eat something healthy with these wonderful recipes...
Cheers and wish you a nice week
thank you for the compliment and have fun with our recipes!
Cheers,
Carla
so I really get excited for such a delicious thing ... - And I would also like to blend something.
However, I am blind - and therefore dependent on a blender that has, for example, no touch, easy to clean and generally easy to use.
Do you know there maybe what I can work well even without eyesight?
And if you still want to know how I work independently as a blind person with iPhone and computer, I will of course also gladly enlighten you. In summary, I can say this much in advance: Everything can talk! :)
Regards from the currently sunny Munich!
thank you very much for your inquiry. To be honest, we have not yet had a request of this kind and accordingly little experience.
What would possibly be the easiest to use is the Primo S.
That has the container detection, so can only start when the container sits on and the only control element is the jog dial, which is controllable from 0 to maximum. The container is also quite small and fits in any sink. The blender itself is also relatively compact and fits under most wall cabinets. You just have to make sure that the lid fits tightly every time you blend, otherwise it will be a mess. If you have any further questions, please get in touch!
Regards to Munich
Carla
Thank you for your beautiful recipes for smoothies with wild herbs. For me it would be nice if the recipes were written with slightly bigger letters - it would be less exhausting for me. I am just a bit older ....
Best regards from Schlüchtern
thank you for your comment and the nice feedback on our recipes.
I can understand you well regarding the font size. However, the PDF would run over 2 pages with larger font and would need more paper when printed. That's why we formatted it the way it is.
I hope you can understand that.
Best regards,
Carla
Thank you very much for your comment. You can use the stems as well, especially when you harvest the upper shoots of wild herbs. It's ultimately a matter of taste, as the stems have a stronger flavor. Daisies are also edible and can be added to the smoothie :)
Best regards,
Carla
Thank you for your question. Sometimes, even the flowers of ground elder are mistaken for spotted hemlock and fool’s parsley, both of which are poisonous. If you're not completely sure how to identify ground elder, be sure to seek help from an herbal expert.
Warm regards,
Carla
take a look at the film "What the Health" or the book "Medical Medium." Maybe they can help you just as they helped me. I no longer fear eating fruits since I discovered that animal products could be the trigger for me. Goodbye, diabetes!
Much love ♥️
great idea - a fantastic option for people who need to watch their sugar intake. Thanks for sharing!
Best wishes,
Carla
just found this page today. Simply because I am looking for more information on green smoothies. And tadaaa....very nice here. I also experiment from time to time, also depending on the season, with what grows in my predominantly natural garden. But only after giving up trying to stop the rampant ground elder. I wanted to know what was growing there. And in combination with an herbal book, Google, and my curiosity as a cook, I quickly found out that I only need to harvest my health right outside the door. So, I mainly make pure herbal smoothies. Always changing herbs. That way, I definitely have a power smoothie that packs a punch. I like to use coconut yogurt with water and honey as a base. Sometimes with banana or berries. And the list of herbs?....You surely know them all....e.g. dandelion, ground elder, yellow bedstraw, yarrow, etc....but also leaves from currant bushes etc. Well then...see you soon, Ralph
How lovely it is that you have found your way to us! With your garden, you have the deluxe ingredients for green smoothies right at your doorstep. It simply doesn't get any better than this! Here's a little recipe idea for you: Ground elder tastes similar to parsley and pairs wonderfully with passion fruit. Add some banana and maybe a ripe pear, and there you have a wild herb gourmet smoothie!
Warm regards,
Carla
my question is, do the common wild herbs contain lectins?
Thank you very much for the answer,
kind regards
Elke
thank you for your question.
I’m not very familiar with the topic of lectins; I know that lectins are present in legumes and other plants, but I can’t tell you how much or whether they occur in wild herbs.
There are definitely good resources online to research this.
Best regards,
Carla
that sounds simply perfect: Sylt, wild herbs, homegrown balcony salad, and some fruits. It doesn't get any better than that when it comes to smoothies!
Keep it up - warm regards,
Carla
thank you so much for the wonderful feedback!!! We're really glad to hear that you like our recipes!!!
All the best to you,
Carla
Thank you so much for your feedback. Interesting, minimalist wild herb blend. How much smoothie do you drink of it?
Best regards,
Carla
Yes, you are absolutely right! When I first blended the wild herbs, I could still taste tiny bits of leaves. So, I let the high-speed blender run a bit longer than usual, and now everything is nice and creamy and delicious again. How wonderful it is that we can so easily use the variety of wild herbs that spring offers us right now for our health with a high-speed blender. I look forward to every morning anew when I can go into the garden and harvest nettles, starwort, ground elder, dandelion, comfrey, and more for my smoothie.
You are so lucky with your wonderful garden! It's great to hear that you enjoy drinking wild herb smoothies and that they bring you joy time and again... we feel the same way.
Warm regards,
Carla
The ratio of 40 to 60 for fruit and greens must refer to the appearance in the blender and not the weight, right? (Eye-covering emoji in case this question sounds a bit specific.)
I’m looking forward to your next tips, even if I can’t implement them all.
Best regards!
why not try a "Blood Sorrel," which is a red sorrel you can find at any good herb nursery? The Blood Sorrel is truly garden-compatible.
I overwintered my Blood Sorrel in a frost-resistant pot (40x40 cm). Unfortunately, it didn’t survive the winter—but a few days ago, I discovered dozens of little Blood Sorrel seedlings...
Best wishes, Rosi
I made two wild smoothies last week. One with very young cow parsley leaves from Mom's garden and one with dandelion and sorrel leaves from our garden. Over the weekend, my sweetie fired up the lawn mower, and now everything is gone for the moment, but they'll be back quickly enough.
I was really looking forward to it and felt a bit down when it snowed again. A month ago everything was white here. But with the lovely warm weather, the little herbs grew back quite fast.
I’m really sorry for not having reached out in a while, but I'm still drinking my green drink almost daily. I can't imagine life without a blender anymore.
Best wishes from the Thuringian Forest, MO.
