Instructions
Prepping the dried goji berries
Place the goji berries in a small bowl and pour over boiling water - only enough to cover the berries. Cover and leave to cool down.
Add the chia seeds (or any other seeds, if using) into another small bowl or a jam jar and mix them with a bit of the milk to make sure the mixture is quite wet and the chia seeds and other seeds have enough liquid to expand.
If you want to, you can freeze the rest of the milk and yoghurt to make your smoothie bowl extra thick and also chilled when done in the morning.
To make the smoothie bowl
Add the milk, yoghurt, red mixed berries, the soaked goji berries a few grains of salt into a food processor or a blender. Blend everything until it's thick and smooth.
Taste the goji berry smoothie and adjust the taste by adding any sweetener (e.g. honey).
Stir in the soaked chia seeds and other seeds. If you prefer very smooth texture, then add the chia seeds mix into the blender and blend until all smooth.
Spoon in to the breakfast bowl.
Top the smoothie bowl with more raspberries, dried goji berries or other toppings of your choice.
Notes
This recipe is for 1 large serving of breakfast smoothie bowl, which replaces a breakfast. Alternatively, you can make it into 2 smaller portions for smaller appetites or use it as a pudding or an afternoon healthy snack.
