Here is a “blended salad” type of Live Green Smoothie, loaded with salad vegetables, but it’s very mild… not at all like a V-8 cocktail. Goji berries, cold-pressed coconut oil, and a bit of agave nectar (or raw honey) softens and melds the flavors into a gently-flavored smoothie that’s chock-full of good things.

With some humor, I noticed that it also had the same coloration as my parents’ granite countertop.

Recipe for: Mild “Goji-Veggie” LGS

A Live Green Smoothie/Blended Salad With Goji Berries

• 1/2 red pepper
• 1 medium tomato
• 1 stalk celery
• 1 tablespoon goji berries
• 1 tablespoon cold-pressed coconut oil
• 1 tablespoon agave nectar or raw honey
• 1/4 teaspoon quality natural salt, such as Himalayan Crystal salt
• water to 32 oz. (about 2 cups)
• 1 cup ice (optional)

Blend everything up and drink!

This is an excellent base recipe for other additions. As the flavor is quite mild, you can intensify it by adding just a wee bit of red onion, scallions, and/or garlic, and a splash of raw, unpasteurized apple cider vinegar. Add chile or jalapeno for heat, or some fresh grapes for a bit more sweetness. [/quote]
