Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Goji berries
- 1 cup Frozen mixed berries (e.g., strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 1 medium Banana
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or milk of your choice)
- 1 quarter cup Greek yogurt (optional, for creaminess)
- 1 teaspoon Honey (or maple syrup, optional, for sweetness)
- 1 teaspoon Chia seeds (optional, for added nutrients)

Instructions
Place the Goji berries in a small bowl and cover them with warm water. Let them soak for 5 minutes to soften.
In a blender, combine the frozen mixed berries, banana, almond milk, Greek yogurt (if using), and the soaked Goji berries (discarding the soaking water).
Add the honey and chia seeds, if desired, for additional sweetness and nutrients.
Toss in the ice cubes to chill and blend until completely smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness if needed by adding a little more honey or maple syrup.
Pour the smoothie into two glasses and serve immediately. Garnish with a few Goji berries or chia seeds on top, if desired.
