Wild Foraged Lamb's Quarters Green Smoothie
This nutrient-dense smoothie features lamb's quarters, a wild edible green that is richer in protein and vitamins than spinach, paired with tropical fruits for a refreshing, earthy-sweet finish.
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 cups lamb's quarters leaves freshly foraged, stems removed, and thoroughly washed
- 1 cup frozen mango chunks provides creaminess and natural sweetness
- 1 medium banana ripe or frozen for a thicker texture
- 1.5 cups coconut water unsweetened
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice to brighten the earthy flavor of the greens
- 0.5 inch fresh ginger peeled
- 1 tbsp hemp seeds for added healthy fats and protein
Notes
Ensure you have positively identified lamb's quarters (Chenopodium album) before consuming. If you cannot find wild greens, baby spinach or kale makes an excellent substitute. Best consumed immediately, but can be stored in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours (shake well before drinking).
