Hi All


Curious to hear if anyone else has made a Stinging Nettle Milkshake�


Yes, about 1x cup of raw Stinging Nettles (roughly cut / chopped) to 500ml of milk


This then get liquidized for a few minutes after which I put it through a stainer (sieve) with large holes and a second strainer (sieve) with fine holes to remove most of the Stinging Nettle stems remaining fiber


As is, the mixture does not taste bad but by adding 1x egg and 3-5ml of Vanilla Essence and sweetener to taste it changes into a delicious milkshake



My 13 year old daughter and I love the taste and have it at least twice a week. Her most probably as a milkshake and myself as a medication


After a many years of sports (Martial arts and BMX�ing) my joints only wake up way later than the time I got out of bed


Anti Inflammatories at one stage was a part of my diet on a daily basis


With the introduction of Stinging Nettles into my diet December 2012 the need for Anti Inflammatories became less and I have not taken them for the past 2x months


Now, after a day of cycling with the kids I get home, have a �milkshake� and wake up the next morning feeling many a year younger


Now, my question is..

Have anyone else tried this?
If so, were there any side effects?


I have Google�d but can not find anything related to a �Stinging Nettle Milkshake�


(well, after this post there should at least be one hit)

Eagerly awaiting any replies

It may lower blood pressure and heart rate, and long-term use is discouraged due to its diuretic effects. Here's a bit more info from our Wiki...https://www.natmedtalk.com/wiki/Nettle

Feedback appreciated

Dumping wheat did wonders for my joints.

Back in the days of old England the peasants, who were dirt poor, used to eat cooked stinging nettles regularly. They are very nutritious/rich in minerals.

Not sure about using them in a milkshake though...

Could they afford the milk?

They ate it as greens.

Evolution..of the Nettle!
