What if I told you that whether you like it or not, you have an organic bounty filled with amazing health benefits and detoxifying properties growing in your backyard? Would you think I’m totally nuts? Don’t answer that second question.
You DO – and it’s in the form of the almighty dandelion! Can you believe it? No planting, watering, or feeding required. So before you get out the weed killer (not that you should be using that poison in the first place, but I digress) or mow the lawn and send those gems into the compost pile, check out my guest post on Bite Size Wellness where I talk about WHY you should incorporate these seasonal gems into your diet and then come back and make this smoothie. You’ll thank me later.
And in the spirit of complete transparency, I must admit I’ve been a bit obsessed lately, picking dandelion greens in every corner of my neighborhood. Typically, I can be seen mid-walk – stopping, stooping, picking, stuffing my bounty in the stroller (I’m usually with my protégé), and carrying on. Sure, I get crazy looks, but whatever. Haters gonna hate. This was my yield last night. Not too shabby. And free.
