Creamy and fruity, with a clear raspberry tartness and a gentle sweetness from banana and goji.
Raspberries are among the more tart berries and contain a fair amount of fibre and vitamin C, which is why they pair so well with mild partners. Half a banana takes the edge off the acidity and adds body, while cold milk makes the texture soft and milkshake-like. Dried goji berries, the fruit of a shrub grown mainly in China, taste mildly sweet and slightly herbal. This glass suits breakfast or an afternoon snack.
Fresh goji berries are rarely sold outside Asia, so dried ones are the norm; soak them briefly before blending.
Yes. Frozen fruit makes the smoothie thicker and colder, so you may need a splash more liquid.
You can, but it separates and loses some freshness; shake or stir well before drinking.
