Have you jumped on the juicing or blending bandwagon yet? Normally my husband and I whip up a power-packed green smoothie that, you know, tastes healthy. But who said you have to trade in kale for rich velvety deliciousness? With a couple of Superfood additions, raw cacao and goji berries, I have transformed a nutrient dense kale smoothie into a chocolate-berry treat!
If you’re new to goji berries – theses red little berries
are loaded with nutrients! Packed with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and
protein. In fact, just one single goji berry contains over 21 trace minerals, vitamins
A, C, E, zinc, iron, copper, calcium and if that’s not enough – 18 different
amino acids. These berries may be quite small but they contain BIG stuff! Ounce
for ounce, they contain more beta-carotene than carrots, more vitamin C than oranges
and more iron than spinach. Wowza!
Ingredients
1 ½ cups of unsweetened almond milk
2 large handfuls of kale
1/4 cup of raw cashews
1/4 cup of raw cashews
1 frozen banana
1 medjool date, pit removed
2 tablespoons of raw cacao powder
2 tablespoons of goji berries
Large handful of ice
Directions
Yummy and healthy.I will surely try it on my weekend. With the growing stress and toxins in our daily life, we need anti oxidant rich diet which will help us to improve our immunity. Goji Berry not only works as an anti oxidant but also improves our health.
