GOJII BERRY BLAST - A SUPER HEALTHY MORNING SHAKE
I
GOJII WHAT ?? I said
"GOJII BERRIES -Super food! good for your immune system, full of vitamins ( C & A i found out later) good source of iron, oh and you can put them in those smoothies you like making" this was the conversation I had with my mum, who had discovered this ' super dooper ' magical fruit and was sitting there eating them like raisins!
That was over 5 years ago and since then I have added them to my smoothies, and everday cooking as they are very versitile and low in calories. This is why some 'dieters' keep these little miriacles as healthy snacks as they give off slow releasing enegy , helping you to feel fuller for longer. Goji berries are availabe for good health food stores/ supermarkets or you can grow your own in a planter- will thrive in cooler climates apparently.
Preparing Goji berries for a smoothie
2 Tablespoons of dried Goji berries - soak in 1 tablespoon of water for approx 15 minutes until soft
Other Ingredients - makes for 2 glasses
1 cup of strawberries
1cup of rasberries
1 banana
Softened Goji Berries
2 Tablespoon of honey ( organic if possible) - alter to your own taste
Almond milk- to base line
Add Ice - if you want a cold shake
Place all ingredients into your blender and blend until smooth
Pour into glasses and ENJOY :)
HAPPY SMOOTHI-ING

Absolutely great! Goji Berries are one of my personal favorites!
you can grow them.... I've never tried too , but apparently they are easy to grow .
I've got some growing right now, but they are still young.

i love goji berries unfortunately, I can't gorge on them because they are nightshade fruits - they could bring my RSI back. :(
Nice smoothie but I like them in tea best, I think I heard that this is the best way to get their benefits.
Sounds like a powerful trink!
I just sent a tweet out on it.
