• Potassium
• Iron

They also have trace amounts of zinc, manganese, and copper. Goji berries are a good source of vegan protein. The nutritional value makes them valuable to vegans and bodybuilders.

How to use organic goji berries

Since our goji berries are dried and organic, you do not need to worry about the possibility of eating harmful chemicals. This means you can enjoy them right from the pack. However, they say that the natural flavor of goji is an ‘acquired taste’. If you don’t enjoy these berries as they are, mix them with other products in stews, smoothies, or salads.

When eaten as a snack between meals, goji berries will help you avoid high-calorie snack foods. They are filling and will keep nasty hunger pangs at bay.

The standard American diet does nothing to help improve your wellbeing. However, adding a few raw, organic vegan foods to your meal plan helps strengthen your body.

Enjoy organic goji berries from Food to Live instead of processed snack foods for a change of pace that encourages healthy eating habits!

Raw Chocolate Goji Berry Energy Bar

Serves: 2

Ingredients

• ¼ cup instant old fashioned oats, ground into a flour
• ¼ cup goji berries
• ¼ cup pecans
• 1 tablespoon cashews
• 1 tablespoon lucuma
• 1 tablespoon cacao nibs
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 pitted date
• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon unsweetened almond milk

Topping

• 1 teaspoon coconut oil
• ¼ teaspoon cacao powder
• ¼ teaspoon pure maple syrup

Instructions

1. Add ¼ cup of instant old fashioned (or quick) oats in a high speed blender and blend until the oats form a flour. Add the goji berries, pecans, cashews, lucuma, cacao nibs, vanilla extract, date, olive oil and almond milk. Pulse and blend until the mixture is small and sticky.
2. Spoon it out onto a bowl and knead with your hands for about a minute until all the small pieces form one large clump. Transfer it on a flat surface (I used a plate) and form the shape of a long rectangle. Flip it around so the other side can be flattened by the surface.
3. Use a knife and cut off the top and bottom ends, then cut the bar in half. Put it in the freezer for the moment while you prepare the topping.
4. Combine a teaspoon of coconut oil with ¼ teaspoon of cacao powder and maple syrup in a very small bowl and mix it up.
5. Take the bars back from the freezer and drizzle this mixture on top of the bars evenly, then put it back into the freezer for 20 minutes.

Enjoy!

Raw Goji Berry Jam:

• 0,25 cup dried goji berries
• 0,25 cup dried cranberries
• 0,25 cup fresh orange juice
• Juice from a half lemon(a huge)
• 2-3 tablespoons of water
• 1-2 tablespoons agave
• 4-5 fresh, organic strawberries
• 1-2 teaspoons psylium seed husk

Place dried berries in a bowl, add water, lemon and orange juice, let stand for 1-2 hours to soften the berries. Transfer in a high speed blender, add fresh strawberries and agave, blend till it is very smooth. Add psyllium husks, mix well and let stand for 10-15 minutes, then again blend very well. The psyllium husk acts as a thickening/gelling agent and provides the right texture, it tastes very similar to a real fruit jam, only much healthier and without tons of sugar.
