  • 2 tsp goji berries see note
  • 1 tsp raw honey optional

Notes

Goji berries have impressive benefits ranging from anti-aging to immune support. They are packed with antioxidants, like free-radical-busting vitamin C, and, for such a tiny fruit, contain a generous amount of fibre and protein. Goji are most often purchased as whole dried berries, but you can also find them in powder format.
