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.

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

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
Yes, we are always asked about the fox tapeworm from time to time. The exact way in which the eggs of the fox tapeworm are transmitted to humans is not yet fully understood. However, it is believed that humans can become infected with the worm through soil or plants that have been contaminated with the feces of infected foxes. That's why I always make sure to thoroughly wash everything I bring home from the forest after collecting it. This is to reduce the risk of infection, but it does not guarantee 100% safety. So, everyone must decide for themselves whether they are willing to take the risk. If you don't have your own garden or a small plot on the balcony, you can also alternatively collect wild herbs on slightly larger meadows, on the outskirts of the city, or in parks.
Best wishes,
Anne
Did you really have real medlars? Where do you get them from? I would really love to taste them. Or were they Japanese medlars instead?
Do any of you have experience with growing dandelion yourself, like a kitchen herb or something? Otherwise, I wouldn't know where to regularly and easily collect dandelion without any concerns!
I wouldn't mind paying a small fee for regular tours either. That way, we could also consider plants specific to each season. Keep up the great work, and a big compliment for your website! :)
thank you for the compliment, I'll gladly pass it on! We will continue to organize wild herb tours from time to time. I have added you to the newsletter to keep you informed. In the future, there will also be a section on the website with all the dates.
Best regards,
Kazuo
Thank you for your praise, we are also very excited about the wild greens that are enriching our smoothies again.
Picking directly by the roadside is generally not recommended, on the one hand because of the dog "business" ... on the other hand, the plants there are also contaminated with heavy metals from car exhaust fumes.
You should also avoid picking at the edges of fields unless it's the field of an organic farmer, as the herbs there may have been exposed to questionable herbicides and pesticides.
If you don't have friends with their own garden (who would probably be delighted if you harvested the ground elder there ;)), it's best to use larger meadows in parks or on the outskirts of town. Some people also like to go to cemeteries for gathering.
For slightly taller plants, like nettles for example, it's best to pick the upper leaves and shoots. Firstly, they are the most tender and secondly, most dogs don't aim so high :)
Rinsing thoroughly with cold water before processing the wild herbs is generally sufficient. However, you can also briefly dip them in hot water afterward to be on the safe side. In this short moment, hardly any nutrients are lost, but you have further neutralized possible contaminants.
Wishing you a wild green spring and sending sunny greetings from Berlin,
Susi
Please remain level-headed, think thoroughly, and put everything into perspective. ;-)
I don't even wash my wild plants (from a dog-free collection) before consuming them, so as to preserve valuable microorganisms.
Best regards - Svenja
thank you for your detailed response, it has been very helpful to me.
Warm regards,
Eve
