This smoothie is focused on the immune boosting, anti-inflammatory, liver support, antioxidant action of its main ingredients, along with good dietary fiber and protein. A nutritional bomb packed with flavor and goodness, just my kind of morning. —sil entre jardins

Hi there! Golden berry is another name for Inca berry or Physalis. Use fresh or in dried form.
