A new series is kicking off here at Appalachia’s Homestead!
“Our Healthy Homestead” is going to be another journey for us as we have had several health set backs just in the last year. Taking ourselves back to our homesteading roots along with diet is going to be our ticket. Today, we enjoy fresh smoothies with simple dandelion greens as our guide. It was delish! Check it out!Be sure to join us on May 6th for The Great Appalachian Homesteading Conference! Love you guys!

Super excited for this
Dandelion greens are great for liver cleansing.
Have you ever tried bleaching Dandelion Leaves? If you turn a terracotta plant pot over a little plant the leaves to mad trying to get to the sun through the little hole in the base. I can't remember the benefit other than the young leaves are paler, softer too. You should try it Patara, it might not be so bitter.
Has anyone eaten dandelion chips ?? Just curious? Thinking about trying it out.
Few drops of vodka will make it even better ;).
As a child we would pick dandelion green and roots and make them into a warm salad with vinegar and bacon. So good! My dad also used to make dandelion wine…not so good!
Great grandma Dora used to make dandelion wine
Patara can you do a health update on your hubby. I think about him everytime I watch one of your videos. Y'all are in my prayers.
yes, love smoothie's so good and healthy!!!
Don't forget flax seeds. I add them to all my smoothies. Super good for your ❤️
when my kids where young, I rarely could get them inside for lunch. They snacked from the garden & woods. They were taught plant ID early on.
I never heard of Shard. What is that?
Loved the video. As always.
I just discovered your you tube page so cool you are close by. I am in Knoxville and have a sister in Crossville. Have you ever pressure canned on a gas grill?
thank you for the dandelion green tip! we have been making smoothies every morning with our raw goat milk kefir so I will try the dandelions in the morning!
Good stuff. My personal favorite is spinach, kale, chard, parsley, pear, cucumber, broccoli, a lime, and celery 🙂
Looks good, we like to add some plain yogurt for some creaminess.
You might try adding extra virgin olive oil, cold-pressed hemp seed oil, fresh ground flax seeds, turmeric, cinnamon as well as spinach, and kale.
I use my ninja (a cheaper version of your vita mix) to make ahead.
That way, I pour a base mix into my small container and mix in whatever fresh I feel like.
Combine that with a healthy breakfast including a glucose stabilizing dish of rice and beans topped with hummus
You aren't going to be hungry the rest of the day.
But you will be very regular (if you know what I mean).
I grew up in italy, my Nonna and I used to go foraging for dandelion greens! I just took my 8 yr old daughter out this weekend foraging for them they are delicious! we clean tgem, boil them and toss them in olive oil, Himalayan pink salt and garlic powder with a splash of good vinegar and eat them!
Great vid on a great source of nutrition. We learned about "handy Dandy greens" in 4H way back in the day. My veg/meat market now sells dandelion greens by the bunch . The grow well in pots, too.
Patara, have you got the conference line up determined? If so how or where can I view it?
OAG
Will definitely try this will be making dandelion jelly this week!
Ginger root. Nummy nummy. Adds a zing to it.
Do you have a dandelion jelly recipe? Yum, yes we have been having our share of smoothies too.
Quick tip: put your water and greens in first and blend for a bit, then add everything else. It helps to get the greens completely blended. 🙂
