Nutty and lightly sweet, with a clear peppery rocket note and a creamy banana base.
Rocket, also known as arugula, has a distinct peppery, mustard-like bite, so a small amount is enough. Banana rounds it off with sweetness and body, almonds add nuttiness, protein and vitamin E, and dried goji berries a mild, slightly tart sweetness. Goji berries come from a shrub cultivated mainly in China.
A powerful blender helps with the almonds and dried berries; soaking them first makes it easier. A filling glass for breakfast or a snack.
