This Thankful Thursday, we’re celebrating one of nature’s most powerful little treasures: Goji Berries — the Tiny but Mighty fruit that packs a serious nutritional punch.
Used for centuries in traditional Chinese medicine, Goji berries offer incredible health benefits in a small, vibrant package:
Why we’re thankful for Goji Berries:
- Rich in Antioxidants: Protect your body from oxidative stress and aging.
- Boosts Energy & Mood: Known to support focus, vitality and emotional balance.
- Supports Eye & Skin Health: Loaded with vitamin A and beta-carotene.
- Strengthens Immunity: High in vitamins C and A to help fight off illness.
- Great Source of Iron & Fiber: Especially valuable for plant-based eaters.
Plus, they’re incredibly versatile:
- Sprinkle on oatmeal
- Blend into energy bites or trail mix
- Enjoy as a naturally sweet snack on the go
Why are Goji Berries usually dried?
Fresh goji berries are delicate and perishable, making them difficult to transport and store. Drying them not only preserves their nutrients and shelf life, but also concentrates their flavor — making them perfect for snacking or adding to recipes.
As always, I’m thankful for you — our vibrant, plant-powered community. Let’s keep choosing foods that love us back.
I started out several years ago watching Forks Over Knives, decided to “try out” the plant-based meal plan and had shockingly incredible results. I’ve never turned back. I have lost nearly 50 pounds, and that is just one side effect that me, my family, friends and clients have experienced after making the change.
Having been an incredible cook my entire adult life, I started my own personal chef service, NuYu Nourish, to extend my help to others. I interned under a celebrity chef, became a celebrity chef myself and have been expanding my reach and goals ever since! My plan follows strictly and simply those of Dr. Mcdougall, Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Dr. Esselstyn.
