Note

Separately, a few words about the healing properties of nettle ..
Nettle is famous for its rapid elimination of various toxins from the human body. This is due to the content of cellulose polysaccharides and lignins in it, as well as vitamins of group B, C, E, K.
Nettle leaves also contain pure chlorophyll, without admixture of other pigments. Chlorophyll has a strong stimulating and tonic effect on the body: it improves metabolism, increases the tone of the intestines, uterus, cardiovascular system and respiratory center, and also stimulates granulation and epithelialization of the affected tissues, which also provides the wound healing effect of nettle.
Nettle contains a large chemical composition of trace elements. For example, vitamin K, which has an excellent value on blood clotting, has an anti-inflammatory effect. He also heals blood vessels with ease. Nettle contains a lot of calcium in the form of carbonate, it does not represent any burden on the kidneys, even if it is ingested in the body in increased quantities.
Nettle contains secretin, which normalizes metabolism, stimulates the formation of insulin and thereby leads to a decrease in the amount of sugar in the blood, which is certainly necessary for people suffering from diabetes. Known choleretic and diuretic properties of nettle, which makes it possible to use it in diseases of the liver, kidneys: gall bladder and gastrointestinal tract.

Very interesting ... just the nettle bushes are growing behind the garden ... nowhere to go.
Is there no sugar at all? It seems to me that this is essential for ice cream.
For smoothies already, of course, at will ...

Anya, how beautiful
AnaMost
Elena, thanks for the comment ..
I have my own opinion on sugar, and the doctors ...
Sugar acidifies the body, and raw fruits, vegetables, herbs alkalize, which, in turn, leads to refreshing and is very beneficial for the body ..
I prepared this recipe, including for the competition, therefore I took into account such subtleties
AnaMost
Natasha, thank you!
but it seemed to me not very appetizing in appearance, but very useful and tasty
NataliARH
I really like the photo, but as in real life, we will assume that it seemed to you)))

sugar ... I am also for "sugar-free" especially for children there is honey, but who is not against sugar, they can add .... right ?! they adjust all the recipes for themselves, change something the main thing is a starting point

I love sweets, like a smoothie I make from lettuce and parsley leaves, banana in the subject! There is enough sweetness, and if the apple is sweet, finally CLASS! I make either an apple or a banana, which is. Now I will be looking for nettles until the season, I have not seen that it grows, but they can sell. And the nettle that grows probably high? We still have petty and sooo hot
Rada-dms
Well done, Anechka! An inventor with always excellent results!

And I will definitely try to do this. Even "nettle ice cream" sounds unusual. I think it's delicious since the kids eat.

All types of nettles are undoubtedly useful, all can be eaten, for cosmetic purposes, as a vitamin remedy, etc.
Here are just hemp nettles, it is better to use a young one or scald a little, it has thorny, including leaves.

Rada-dms, thank you!
Volume, children are different (: I had guests - a 6-year-old girl drank a little smoothie and winced, and ate the ice cream with pleasure ...
And a boy of 2 years old - drank half a glass of smoothie almost in one fell swoop with such an appetite ...
Volume
Well this is how many kinds of nettles are needed! I always pour boiling water over and cut. Probably not necessary? Need to soak for an hour, like in the recipe?
AnaMost
Volume, my mother also always doused with boiling water, so I repeated, and for the last few years I learned from raw foodists to eat LIVE raw ...
You need to soak so that all the dirt comes out, often all sorts of insects crawl out, no matter how you look, you still come across ...
An-net
Anya, and I'm interested in everything, raw nettles in recipes do not burn, do they?
AnaMost
Anna, well, when I was cutting, I once pricked myself with a tiny needle ... And in my mouth - never, never once, and not just me!
Lerele

Lerele
And also did not pour water, did not see
But they already ate puree
Volume
This is speed! Lerele puree?
Omela
Girls. and what has the nettle gone ??? Anya, thanks for reminding about the nettles, I will guard it now.)
Lerele
Volume, well, it turned out to be thick, like apple puree, but tasty !!
!Omela, we definitely went, but such a vigorous one, after two bags she pressed her hand, it still tingles.
I wonder how much it will feel?
I'll get a dryer, I'll dry my nettles for myself.
Omela
Lerele, stunned .. we only have dead grass and rain and snow !!! Why dry?
Lerele
Omela, in winter I will brew and drink, and you can rinse your hair, you can also throw it into the soup, and in general, so that it was.
We already have apple trees blooming, bird cherry blossoms, but now it's a little late, usually early.

in winter I will brew and drink,
Oh, she's so nasty .. I wonder if you can soak it and make the same smoothie in winter ?? or will there be no usefulness?
Volume
We have 2 days of winter ended. It is with Anya and Lerele that nettles are rampant. And we still have to wait and wait.

Oh, she's so nasty.
The soup is not nasty, the smoothie also tasted good to me. I have to brew to try, I have not tried it yet. I can't, I use it on my hair
AnaMost
