Orange Mint Smoothie with Goji Berries
Fresh and fruity, with mellow pear, bright orange and a cool mint note.
Pears are the quiet backbone of this glass: they are juicy, mild and provide body and fibre without dominating. Freshly squeezed orange juice adds acidity and vitamin C, and a handful of mint leaves gives the typical cool freshness. Dried goji berries bring a gentle sweetness with a slightly herbal, cranberry-like note. The smoothie is light and fits well into the morning or as an afternoon refreshment.
