Goji berries

Am always one to try new things and the latest thing to make it off the shelf and into my shopping basket is some dried Goji berries - they are weird little red shrivelled things and I have skirted round them for some time (remind me to tell you about the pomello one day!) but I am on a healthy eating kick at the moment and so with all the hype around celebrities living off them I figured why not.

Should have more been Why bother to be honest - they are weird things and no doubt. Pop one in your mouth and the first sensation is ohh I have eaten a dusty seed! the second is a taste of old raisin which has been left in the sun too long - the ones they sweep on to the floor and the rats turn their noses up at! 

Here I am with a bag of shrivelled red things and I need to use them up - well waste not want not as my granny used to say - so I have started adding them to smoothies - the liquid seems to rehydrate them a bit and at least remove the dusty old seed flavour!!!

So if you have bought a bag and are thinking hey what can I do with these other than force my self to eat them as a snack and pretend they are nice!!! then this one if for you!

Ingredients:
5g Goji berries (dried)
1 Kiwi peeled and chopped
100g blueberries (if you dont like bits then you should blitz these alone and sive the pulp)
1tsp runny honey (optional)
150g Pouring Yoghurt

Chuck it all in your blender and blitz - when you think it is done blitz it a bit more - it should be a rather nice orange colour and tastes slightly of toffee which I can only think is the berries - actually maybe that is what I am doing wrong maybe I should soak them . . . hmm think I will try that . . .
