:Meaghan Eady: Tibetan Goji Berry Peach Smoothie

Who can resist a daily mid-summer peach? Where cherries are king of the stone fruits, peaches are queen.

Pair this luscious orange fruit with nutritionally dense goji berres and you have a unique and delicious flavour combo that will charge up your day. Throw in some immune boosting red reishi (aka the king of the mushrooms) and nothing will stop you. Don't worry, reishi mushrooms are relatively flavourless so they won't throw off your smoothie feng shui.

Tibetan gojis, sometimes called wolf berries, keep your system strong because they're loaded with beta carotene, immune boosting properties and anti-oxidant power. To grow up in the Himalaya you've gotta have some special magic!

These bright little berries usually come dried and resemble raisins - just skinnier and pinky red. I did see them fresh once at Whole Foods but have yet to try them. Perhaps my next blender adventure?

Ingredients

Go organic!

1 large luscious peach, no pit
1 heaping Tbsp soaked goji berries
1 Tbsp hemp hearts
1 tsp red reishi powder

1 tsp of honey for your sweet tooth (optional)
1 cup coconut water or plain filtered water

Blend until smooth, drink up, and feel the royal magic pulsing through your veins.
