- 2 handfuls mixed greens or greens of your choice

A Wonderful Thing
Today I am making my Anti-Aging Goji Berry Beauty Water. It requires 1/4 cup of Goji berries, which I soaked, along with 3 Medjool dates, pitted. I put them in a little water last night, water to cover, they soaked overnight, now they’re all mooshy and sweet and the flavors of the Goji berries and the Medjool dates have melded together. I’m adding that, soak water and all, to the 6 cups of water I already have in the VitaMix. Beauty Water has a water like consistency, not a smoothie like consistency. It makes a great beverage throughout the day. It is perfect for killing cravings and hydrating you. You can even drink it with meals, it’s not a meal replacement. It’s a wonderful thing.
The Beauty’s In The Greens
This will be a day’s worth of Beauty Water. I’ll put it in some big mugs and sip on it throughout the day. Then, to that we add our greens. The beauty’s in the greens. Chlorophyll, oxygen, anti-oxidants, which are also in the Goji berries. Goji berries are wealthy with anti-oxidants and play a big part in the anti-oxidant, anti-aging theories. The key to enjoying your Beauty Waters is to make them taste good, as in all food.
Blend for 20-30 seconds in the VitaMix. It doesn’t take long to mix up the Beauty Water. Okay, let’s see what we’ve got. First, the aroma. Ah, bright, fresh. I can even smell the Goji berries and the dates in there. Now, watch the consistency. Look at that. It’s a beautiful, olive green color, wealthy with chlorophyll and oxygen. That’s a big mug that you can drink from just like this. That is delicous.
Touch Of Sweetness
It has a touch of sweetness from the Medjool dates. I can taste the Goji berries, you know they have a slight earthy flavor to them. The greens are bright with color and flavor. This is a delicious Beauty Water, I want you to try it. If you want more Beauty Waters, all you have to do is go to my website, www.BlenditandMendit.com. You can sign up if you want my K.I.S.S.

[..YouTube..] Looks yummy! I’ve never tried goji berries. Saving to my favorites. Thanks for sharing.
Jane,
That beauty water looks fantastic. I am going to make a batch!
Thanks for sharing and for all of your hard work. We all are benefitting so much from your dedication to health.
Peace and Raw Health,

Hi Elizabeth,
I hope you make a batch, it was one of my best. I drank it all up throughout the day. The dates added just the right touch of sweetness.
Jane
[..YouTube..] @sistahonamission You’re welcome, I hope you make it. A touch of sweetness from the dates and all those glorious greens. I drank it al!Jane
[..YouTube..] I love your videos and I’m tempted to make all these recipes, I just need to get a blender now ;p
Hi sleepylacepaws,
Thank you for the feedback, it’s great to hear from you and thank you for taking the time to comment.
In the meantime, do what you can with what you have. Beginning with lumpy green smoothies in an underpowered blender, which is how I started, is better than doing nothing at all.
Or just enjoy more greens in your salads until you get set up.

[..YouTube..] I’m going to soak my goji berries tonight…can’t wait to try this one.
[..YouTube..] @amante7777 Let me know what you think. It’s one of my faves. The hint of sweetness from the goji’s and dates really makes it a delight to drink.Jane
I agree… I alternate between the spring mix and the dandelian. I also cut back a little on the goji’s since I don’t need the water to be that sweet and they are a bit expensive when used every day to make the waters. I also find that the longer the water sits the sweeter it gets, so next day is definitely sweeter than the day it’s made. Either way though, I love them and can’t believe how much more water I’m drinking thanks to your brilliant idea.
[..YouTube..] never heard of goji’s berries myself have to try it as well.
[..YouTube..] @fortgreene31 “The goji berry is also called the wolfberry. It is a bright orange-red berry that comes from a shrub that’s native to China. In Asia, goji berries have been eaten for generations in the hopes of living longer.”
I tried the anti aging goji beauty water, and needless to say, I found it hard to like. So instead of pitching it, I added some oranges,ginger, frozen strawberries, and more greens, and dates..to make a smoohthie out of it. I think this one is definetly for the Seasoned green smoothy drinker, not a beginner! But I am willing to try..
Hi Wendy,
Congrats on trying it and for making it work for you by amending it.
