Thanks to the perfect combination of vitamin-rich fruits like Goji berry, orange, this superfood smoothie has powerful antioxidants that combat inflammation and stress in the body, helping you to feel better and stronger. These include:

Tips

  • If you are not vegan, to boost the amount of protein in this Goji berry smoothie, replace half the almond milk with plain Greek yogurt. It will be even creamier!
