Description
Load up on vitamin C the natural way with this refreshing Vitamin C Powerhouse Smoothie recipe. This immune boosting smoothie is packed full of delicious vitamin C rich ingredients.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons goji berries
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 whole, peeled seedless orange
- 1 cup strawberries
- 1 whole peeled guava (or 1 cup pineapple) *see notes
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon or lime juice
- 1 teaspoon camu camu powder
- 1 – 2 handfuls ice cubes
Instructions
- Soften goji berries: Soak goji berries in the 1/2 cup of water for 5-10 minutes (to soften).
- Add ingredients to blender: Put all ingredients into a high speed blender (including the goji berry soaking water).
- Blend: Blend on high until smooth.
Notes
- Guava Note: Guava is really high in vitamin C but it can be difficult to find depending on where you live. If you can’t find guava (or are not a fan), just substitute it for some chopped up pineapple. The smoothie will still pack a Vitamin C punch.
- Adjust to your preferred consistency: If the smoothie is too thin, add in some more ice. If it is too thick, pour in a touch more water.
- Find goji berries and camu camu powder at your local health food store or online. Goji berries: Amazon | Well.ca. Camu camu powder: Amazon | Well.ca
