Creative Goji Smoothie

A quick post on what i made for the twins breakfast drink-

Handful almonds (soaked 6-8hrs beforehand.Not essential but does activate the enzymes and full of calcium)
2 Ripe Bananas (That means they are brown spotted not pure yellow.This is when they are most nutritious and non-constipating)
Handful Creative Nature Goji Berries
2 Large glasses purified water
Squirt Agave Nectar
Sprinkle Himalayan Pink Salt (minerals)
2 Pinches of kelp powder (calcium)

This made enough for 2 full sized starbucks re-usable smoothie cups i got from a service station.
Goji berries are incredible for you and for your kids.Heres an article i copy and pasted from thesuperfoods.net 

Benefits of Goji Berries for Kids

Children even in developed world are the most vulnerable to infections since their immune systems are still not fully developed. Also since they are constantly exposed to various germs in the classroom, they are more likely to suffer from colds, coughs and other common infectious diseases. Antioxidants in goji berries strengthen the immune system and reduce the risk of kids constantly developing infections.

Unless children have any specific allergies, they can safely consume this fruit. A 16oz or 28g serving of goji berries (dried) gives us 100 calories and no cholesterol and fat.  Apart from improving the immune system, goji berries can improve eyesight and these benefit kids who are constantly straining their eyes when studying, watching television or working / playing on the computer.

Goji berries also increase energy levels, strengthen muscles and bones and improve circulation. This increase performance levels during sports, gym classes etc.  Kids will have greater energy to take part in a wide range of physical activities – running, swimming, playing sports, dancing etc.

Carotenoids, polyphenols present in goji berries protect our kids from degenerative diseases, certain cancers and cardiovascular diseases. It can also strengthen intestinal, respiratory and urinary tracts and promote healthy skin, teeth and hair.   Essential fatty acids can promote weight loss in obese kids.
