Yum! I was thinking cleavers and chickweed, too. Plantain is delicious. I can’t think of a whole lot of herbs that wouldn’t be good like this. Thanks for the reminder.

P.S. I do use parsley and cilantro when I have them. Forgot as last season they were not abundant enough and I saved them for herbal salads.

I make one with foraged wild plants and a few garden ones. In the winter (here in the cold northeast) I use powdered plants gathered and dehydrated when they were at their best. Over the season these are Nettles, kale, ribwort plantain, dandelion leaf, calendula flower, catnip, mint, marjoram, rosemary, oregano, lavender, sheep sorrel, nasturtium leaf or flower or both, etc. During fresh season I pick what is in season. For winter my blend includes all. I usually have my fruit 45 minutes before the smoothie as my digestion is a bit finicky mixing fruit and veggies. Brewing tea is too much bother so I use fresh herbs to get interesting flavors.

I’ve never made a herbal smoothie. I’m definitely going to try this recipe, I’m considering using either hibiscus, nettle or damiana
