Wild Smoothie

A few mornings ago I was picking dandelion leaves when I found a bush of beautiful black raspberries growing on the outskirts of my yard. Some of the berries were certainly ripe; all shining in their opal splendor, reflecting the sunlight in their little orbs. Mmm. I picked all the ripe berries and ran back to the house with them. All I had around were some mangos and so I made a mango-dandelion-black raspberry smoothie. Delicious combination of bitter and sweet with that perfect rosy sorbet-like mango texture.

Recipe:

2-3 large mangos
1/2-1 cup black raspberries
1-3 cups baby dandelion greens

Blend until smooth.
Simple (well, you do have to gather the berries and greens), satisfying, delicious.

Nutritional Highlights:
-High in Calcium, Iron, Magnesium (not to mention Copper, Manganese, Potassium, and Phosphorus)
-Good source Zinc
-High in Vitamin E (and in basically every other vitamin as well)
