Green Smoothie with Stinging Nettle

Green smoothies have really captured my mind and heart because I keep experimenting with different ingredients and consistence. Some of them are made with milk kefir (separate blog for milk kefir) and some are pure vegetarian, with water or even without, just raw mashed veggies and fruits. 

Today I went even further and tried with stinging nettle's leaves. I was told that nettle clean blood and have many vitamins. e.g. vitamin A and C. Here is a very good scientific article I found in the internet you may want to look at.

Apart from stinging nettle, I added banana to make it a bit sweeter, two kiwis, one cabbage leaf, one pear, one orange, 1 tb spoon of grounded flax seeds, and two heaped tb spoons of buckwheat soaked overnight. It was really really good and healthy. Excellent choice for those trying to lose weight, vegetarians, even for raw vegans. I am not one of them (maybe not yet, who knows), but am trying to change my eating habits and start eating healthy and make healthy diet my normal life style.
