Hawthorn Berries Smoothie – Hawthorn berries are not very common, perhaps they can be found in prepackaged tea boxes, or perhaps at a specialty herb and spice store. I found these dried hawthorn berries at my local Asian food store.
I was struck by the sweet and astringent flavors contained in the berry. I started to think that this could make a pretty good smoothie and could also be paired with a bitter superfood like MACA.

When hawthorn berry is dehydrated, it is quite chewy, so I soaked the berries overnight to make it easier to blend into my smoothie. You’ll want to make sure you take the seeds out before soaking or blending them.

The raspberry smoothie says 5 cups of almond milk probably shouldn’t say I tried it, it didn’t work XD. Lemon Verbena Nectar Smoothie is on the menu today! This is a recipe from my book, The Herbal Kitchen. It is a super simple, tasty and refreshing treat.
Having introduced this plant to over a thousand people, here’s what I know about lemon verbena.
Hawthorne Berry Superfood Smoothie
It makes people smile and go, “Ahhhhhhhhh!” If that is all. Without a doubt, lemon verbena has the biggest wow factor of any plant I know of when people ingest its wonderful scent.
I’ve seen people coo, sing, squeal and sigh on their first date with lemon verbena. When I hear people smell lemon verbena, the word that comes to mind is… delight. (Yes, I listen to people when they smell plants).
The lemon verbena delight response carries over to cooking and all the wonderful drinks you can make with lemon verbena. Watch someone smell lemon verbena tea for the first time, you’ll see. Her eyes light up and you’ll hear that little squeak of delight under her breath.
Over the years, I kept noticing how happy people become when they smell lemon verbena in the garden or in their tea. How much is that fleeting moment of stress reduction worth? You won’t find this listed as a benefit in the herbal materia medica, but it feels vitally important to have an herbal ally to help you breathe deeply, relax, and feel good, even for a moment.

I have lemon verbena growing by my front door. When I get home, I squeeze some of the leaf out, smell it, and instantly feel calmer and settle in to being home.
Its delicious aroma, flavor and calming effect place lemon verbena in the category of “excellent herb to drink”. It supports digestion and reduces oxidative stress and inflammation, but I don’t use lemon verbena to “treat” anything. I use it to make my teas taste better and to give people that little touch of happiness. We use lemon verbena throughout the spring and summer in drinks and smoothies. It’s refreshing, soothing with a touch of pleasure!
