I couldnt find any recipes with goji berries in them mentioned here, but maybe search isnt working right...Anyway, I was curious to see if I could make a goji smoothie since I find the straight dried berries very intense flavoured. Also I dont have a vitamix and thought dry berries might not blend very well (like I saw David Wolfe make a smoothie with dry ones and cacao nibs, but I think he had a vitamix)

I soaked a handful of berries in filtered water for about an hour which was enough, but once in the past I left them soaking overnight and they rehydrate to look all squishy and fresh. I had planned to make a smoothie that time but they were so plump and berry-looking I ate them straight!

- 1-2 Bananas
- Filtered water to cover
- However much cacao powder you like
- Soaked goji berries and soaking water (which goes deep red if left overnight, so packed with antioxidants!)
- Agave or some other sweetener as required

Blend and enjoy! I couldnt even taste the goji berries, it was just really chocolatey and banana-rey. Mmmm. I had stacks of energy afterwards and amused hubby who was on the computer, by playing hacky-sack in the loungeroom for an hour, giggling non-stop. My new fave treat!

I love them soaked too... they are just delicious. Make sure you drink the water!

I find even hard and dry they blend well in smoothies. Yummy!

I've been known to add soaked goji berries to my choccie mylkshakes! (raw cacao powder, maca powder, agave nectar, goji berries, hemp seed meal, young coconut water - mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm )
