Superberry Cacao Smoothie | Plant based, dairy free, GF
This Superberry Cacao Smoothie gets its inspiration from those fancy chocolate covered strawberries we see around Valentine’s Day or at weddings. I figured, why save that magical chocolate-strawberry combination for special occasions when you can have it in a delicious and healthy smoothie?
I added dried goji berries — high in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds — for an extra nutritional boost and yummy flavor. Goji berries support immune function, healthy skin, and healthy eyes. Goji berries are pretty easy to find in most natural markets, as well as on Amazon.com.
