8 minSoaking flax seeds and goji berries overnight transforms this smoothie into something thick, creamy, and almost pudding-like. The flax plumps into a gel that gives the blend serious body without any banana or yogurt needed.
Strawberries bring bright sweetness, almond milk keeps it dairy-free, and those little goji berries (also called wolfberries) add a subtle tartness along with a boost of antioxidants. A splash of vanilla and optional maple syrup round it out.
Gluten-free, plant-based, and genuinely filling enough to call breakfast.
Pro Tips
- Soak the flax and goji berries the night before so they form that thick, gelatinous base
- Use frozen strawberries for a thicker, colder smoothie without watering it down with ice
- Leftovers keep in the fridge for up to 2 days and thicken into a spoonable consistency
- Skip the maple syrup if your strawberries are ripe and naturally sweet
Ingredients
Directions
Add flax seeds and wolfberries to a cup or jar, pour in water and soak overnight until the mixture becomes thick and gelatinous.
When ready, place all the ingredients in a blender and blend until completely smooth. Any left-over smoothie keeps for up to 2 days in the fridge, where it will thicken further.
