Goji Cacao Berry Bliss Smoothie
That's exactly what I screamed to Maxx when I tasted this smoothie. Talk about luxurious; this smoothie is a whole lot of that! I must say, the ingredients are pretty expensive. Instead of buying a bottle of wine, I treated myself to a $5 bag of goji berries. At Whole Foods they cost $18 a pound in the bulk section, and that's the cheapest I've seen! Wild or organic blueberries are quite expensive but we're talking $5 for a bag that will last a week... Not so bad, right?
Well, despite the pricetag this smoothie is so worth making. Not only will your taste buds thank you, but your health will too.
Goji berries -like blueberries and raw cacao- are full of powerful antioxidants that help boost your immune system, fight cancer and slow the aging process. Both goji berries and cacao contain substances that help to improve your mood, and you'll get an energy kick from the raw cacao.
Goji berries are my new favorite berry. I love their unique tart and malty taste. Do you have any suggestions more awesome goji berry creations? I'd love to hear them!

Wow, sounds interesting! I haven't tried goji berries, but the cocoa smoothie looks to die for :) Very intriguing!
