Chocolate Banana Smoothie with Goji Berries
5-ingredient chocolate banana smoothie features goji berries and it’s packed with protein, vitamins, fiber, calcium, and deliciousness.
You might have heard of goji berries. They have been used in traditional Chinese medicine for thousands of years. In China, people also commonly enjoy them in their tea or soups. As a superfood, goji berries provide a high amount of vitamin A, fiber, protein, calcium and iron.
And it’s actually really easy to incorporate them into your diet. For example, throw them in your blender with a few other ingredients to make a chocolate banana smoothie in 5 minutes. It tastes absolutely amazing!
I personally love the simplicity and flavor of the smoothie. Knowing how many nutrients I am putting in my body by drinking it makes me feel really satisfied.
Wanna give it a try? I bet you’ll enjoy this chocolate banana smoothie as much as I do.
