Green Smoothie with Dandelion Leaves

Spring is almost here and soon there will be fresh young greens sprouting everywhere. But until we can go out and pick our own fresh dandelion leaves we have to rely on store-bought bunches. The best would be organic but if you cannot find these, regular are better than nothing.

Here is a recipe that includes this great and nutritious plant. Dandelion is one of the cleansing herbs that we should include in our diet especially during spring and for cleanses.

You need: 

1 bunch of fresh dandelion leaves, 

2 bananas, 2 pears, 1-2 apples, water.

Wash all leaves and fruit very well, put the leaves and water in the blender and blend until you cannot see any large pieces of leaves. Then add chunks of apples and pears one by one through the opening in the lid while the blender is still running. Add bananas as the last.   
Drink immediately. Offer to children, family members, any neighbours and visitors who are there with you :) 
If they make yucky faces and refuse, be a role model and enjoy it yourself. Don't push them into trying. If they see you drink and enjoy a really GREEN smoothie, next time they will be curious and taste it.

Cheers to your health!
