stinging nettles

maidenofthewell

I was reading something before about putting stinging nettles in smoothies, apparently when they're blended it won't sting your mouth. I really want to try this, my garden is FULL of nettles and I have this feeling it'll be amazing (i always get big energising reactions to nice raw things i havent had before/in a long time). But I'm a bit scared of getting stung. Has anyone tried this? What would be the best thing to put with them? I'm thinking bananas since they're quite soothing...

I have lots in my garden too. I make a soup of blended young nettle leaves, spinach a sweet potato and parsley. yum.
