Goji Recipe #1: Pure and Simple Goji Drink
One of our favorites! In a big glass of hot or cold water, juice or herbal tea add one handful of Goji berries and let them sit and hydrate for a few minutes (they become plump and juicy); or put several handfuls in a pitcher and enjoy all day as you drink your own delicious Goji berry elixir. Chewing the Gojis as you drink is a wonderful experience and with 500 times more Vitamin C by weight than oranges, Goji berries are a great pick-me-up between meals and a delightful way to enjoy a glass of water.

Soak Goji berries for at least one hour. Combine 1 cup soaked goji berries with 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen), 2 bananas (fresh or frozen), 2 teaspoons cocoa powder, and 1-2 cups almond milk or the water in which the Goji berries were soaked in a strong blender. Blend until smooth. The quantities listed here produce approximately two large servings.
