Ingredients
Estimated cost: 0.5 €
Materials
- blender (Nutribullet)
Preparation
- Wash the nettles and spinach well in 2 waters, shaking off excess water.
- Wash and then peel the ginger. Cut it into thin, small slices.
Wash and peel the lemon, then cut it into smaller slices. 
It is recommended to break the spinach into several smaller pieces, and do the same with ingredients that are too large.
Add all the ingredients to the blender and mix until a thick juice results. If they do not blend properly, you can add a little water. Also add water if the blend obtained is too thick. The result should be a thick smoothie, but one that flows, ... not sticking to the walls of the blender. In this recipe, I added the lemon precisely to fluidize the smoothie...
Nettle, spinach, ginger and lemon smoothie with honey is drunk fresh, right after you make it...

Administration
This smoothie is a source of health, and one smoothie a day during nettle season is enough. You can drink up to 3-5 smoothies a day, however, it is recommended not to overdo it.
It is recommended to consume immediately after preparation, on an empty stomach, and after, not to eat for ~30 minutes, for better absorption of nutrients.
If it seems too thick, you can dilute it with a little water (you can do this right when blending/mixing)
