As nutritionists and health experts continue to extol the benefits of eating a healthy diet, more and more people are turning to natural food sources. One such source is goji berries, which have been consumed by people for centuries. These little red berries are packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals that can help keep your body healthy. In this article, we’ll look at the health benefits of dried goji berries, including their ability to reduce inflammation and improve digestion. Then I’ll share some delicious recipes you can use any time of year!
Goji Berry Smoothie
Goji berries are a superfood and have been used for thousands of years in Chinese medicine. They are rich in antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and protein. They also contain fiber which helps to keep you full longer so you don’t feel hungry between meals. The antioxidants in blueberries are thought to protect against heart disease and cancer. They also contain anthocyanins, flavonoids and tannins which may help prevent diabetes, memory loss and Alzheimer’s disease.
Goji Berry Oatmeal
Goji berries add a sweet, nutty flavor to oatmeal. They’re rich in antioxidants and vitamin C, which can help boost the immune system. Goji berries are also high in fiber, making this breakfast one that will keep you feeling full all morning long. For the best results: Use steel-cut oats rather than rolled oats so they don’t get mushy when cooked with milk or water instead of cream or butter (which will make them taste like cardboard). Steel-cut oats are also lower in sugar than rolled oats, so you’ll get more fiber and less carbohydrates. Add the goji berries to your oatmeal once it’s cooked and let them sit for a few minutes to soften before serving. Goji berries are like a fruit and a vegetable all at once. They’re packed with antioxidants, vitamin C, fiber, and minerals such as iron. Add these little red berries to your morning bowl of oatmeal for a boost of energy that will last all day long.
Almond Milk with Goji Berries and Spinach
Almond milk is a great substitute for dairy milk, but it’s also easy to make on your own. You can use almonds or any other nuts you prefer (cashews, pistachios) and blend them with water until smooth. To make oatmeal with goji berries: Place 1 cup of oats in a saucepan with 3 cups of water and cook over medium heat until desired consistency is reached (about 5 minutes). Add 1 tablespoon of butter or coconut oil along with some cinnamon if desired! For a delicious smoothie recipe using goji berries: Blend together 1 cup almond milk; 1 cup frozen banana slices; 1/2 cup frozen pineapple chunks; 1/2 avocado sliced into cubes; 2 tablespoons ground flax seed meal mixed into 4 tablespoons hot water until thickened just slightly then cooled before adding other ingredients above – enjoy!
