Does anyone here eat Gogi Berries or Cranberries?

Date: February 06, 2011 09:15PM I'm thinking about adding a small amount to my Green Smoothies.
I believe I read somewhere that Gogi Berries are in the Nightshade family. Has anyone here tried either?.....WY Re: Does anyone here eat Gogi Berries or Cranberries?

Date: February 06, 2011 09:26PM Gogi berries are so gross (to me). The taste like dust. Cranberries are incredibly tart. I would just those with pineapple or very sweet apple maybe. The gogis I'd just eat a few with a glass of water. That isn't a flavour I'd want to taste for an entire smoothie! Re: Does anyone here eat Gogi Berries or Cranberries?

Date: February 06, 2011 09:29PM I put cranberries sometimes in my smoothies in the late fall (around Thanksgiving) when fresh cranberries are easy to find. They work ok, taste good. The skin doesn't usually grind to a perfect smoothness the way banana or papaya or some softer fruits do though.
I've never used fresh goji berries. They are in the nightshade family. Re: Does anyone here eat Gogi Berries or Cranberries?

Date: February 07, 2011 04:31AM I know goji berries are in the nightshade family but I would have thought they were quite far removed since you can eat the leaves in salads or soups raw and they are part of Chinese diet (I was told that by someone who cultivates goji). Most other nightshade family members you can't eat the leaves. Re: Does anyone here eat Gogi Berries or Cranberries?

I used to make Goji Berry smoothies. It depends on what you blend them with. I loved them blended with macintosh apples and a few frozen berries. The taste mixed well. I don't drink green smoothies so no idea on how they'd work with them. I found them sickening to eat on their own. Sometimes I buy trail mixes and they're included.

Date: February 07, 2011 10:25AM dunno about Goji berries, but I LOVE fresh cranberry juice, I juice them with my omega, then juice carrots and kale, and I really love the mix, sometimes I do just carrots as I cant really afford to do kale that often anymore, has been $1 for a 2lb bag lately, so ive enjoyed a lot of cranberry juice... lol... I place the skins in a sandwich baggie and freeze them to use in a smoothie later, or use them and the juice to make a smoothie right then... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Oh, mirror in the sky What is love?
