Chickweed Orange Julius - A Delicious Wild Food Drink!
Do you remember the drink orange Julius? It was a much loved beverage I remember being sold in shopping malls across America.
Now you can make this frothy, light, orangy drink that's way better than the drink I knew in my childhood.
This is one of those tricks I learnt from an Herbalist teacher that continues to be a tradition every spring after my first chickweed harvest.
Chickweed is one of thosewild edible plantsthat contains sapponins that when blended froth up similar to the consistency of eggs in the common Julius.
It is a excellent for the cleaning and purifying the lymph and blood.
It is a great addition to a juice fast when you want juicing recipes that give you some wild nutrients you can't buy in a store.

Try to harvest your own oranges, usually they are in season at the same time, in fact chickweed often can be found growing at the base of the orange tree.
