I’ve really been trying to incorporate more smoothies into my diet. In January, I issued a smoothie challenge, to have a group effort in more consuming smoothies, and I did nearly the entire month with a smoothie a day. I thought I’d share a smoothie recipe that I recently concocted, and find myself I’m making day after day. {Some links may contain affiliates}
I’ve been following some healthy eating accounts on instagram and saw them writing about Goji berries, and became intrigued. I thought I’d check them out. Goji berries are an exotic fruit not often found in the US. I was able to find dried Goji berries on Amazon, and ordered them. This recipe has other fruits in it, too, but the goji berries just make it great.
Here are some facts about Goji berries:
- packed with Vitamin A and C
- Great source of fiber
- named as the longevity berry
- also known as wolfberries
- healing abilities to strengthen immune system
- most nutrient rich superfruit of the world!
Are you ready for the simple 4 ingredients?
- Goji berries (1/4 cup)
- pineapples (1/2 cup)
- strawberries (1 cup)
- almond milk (1-2 cups)
I just throw it in my favorite blender, my Blendtec, and the mesh together into pure yumminess. I love pineapple in anything, and I thought it would be strong enough, paired with strawberries, but I found the flavor to be bland. When I throw in the tart goji berries, it really makes the flavor so much more delicious!
Go ahead, grab some Goji berries…you’ll thank me later!
