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 put nettles in my smoothies all the time! :) I've never been stung. I just wear gloves when I put them in the blender and make sure all the leaves get blended. They're good with anything. This morning I put in about 3 cups of nettles, 2 bananas, and a cup of frozen blueberries.
I have lots in my garden too. I make a soup of blended young nettle leaves, spinach a sweet potato and parsley. yum.
