I love the pop of color that the goji berries add! But more importantly, these little pink berries are packed full of antioxidants, fiber, Vitamin C, and Zinc.
“These berries contain all 8 essential amino acids. A single 4 ounce serving provides nearly 10 percent of your daily value for protein. For fruit, this is a surprising amount of protein.
The carbohydrates in goji berries are also complex carbs. This means your blood sugar will rise slowly, reducing your risk of a sugar crash afterward.” (Healthline). I even love topping my smoothies with a tablespoon of goji berries!

Ingredients
- ¼ cup + 1 TBS Creamy Almond Butter
- 2 Tbs Vanilla Plant-Based Protein Powder
- 1 cup Dairy-Free Dark Chocolate Chips
- 1 Tbs Coconut Oil
- 1 tsp Maca Powder
- 2 Tbs Goji Berries
