There are so many reasons to make this smoothie a staple in your diet, I hardly know where to begin! It is packed with a freakish amount of beta carotene, antioxidants, and vitamin C, and has a number of other phytonutrients that make it a nutritionist’s dream. Gojis function as a potent “adaptogen” in the body, helping to maintain balance and combat stress.

Watermelon is famed for its help with weight loss, and the Goji Berry is reputed to be the #1 food for health and longevity in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Goji Berries also appear to be an effective appetite suppressant, my theory being that they are just so jam-packed with nutrition that the body gets sated very quickly. 

If you’ve never tried Goji Berries, be sure to read more about them here.

Gojis provide an unusual creaminess generally not found outside of expensive ice cream, giving this smoothie great “mouth-feel” and a satisfying feeling of substance. You can use this recipe as a base for so many great smoothies — just add berries, mango, peaches, or any another favorite fruit.

In addition, turn this smoothie into a great Raw Cocktail by customizing it with your favorite libation.

To turn your “Rejuvenator” Watermelon-Goji Berry Smoothie into a Raw Cocktail, just add a shot of rum, tequila, or your favorite flavored vodka.

In these photos: I’ve used my personal fave, Jose Cuervo’s “Black Medallion” dark tequila, made from the agave plant beloved of many raw foodies. 

“Get Your Detox and Your Intox On At The Same Time” :D
