Dried goji berries?

[trixie108]

So I bought some dried goji berries to try one of Kathryn's smoothie recipes, and yuck!! I think they taste gross I tried eating them plain and that's not good either. Is there something I can put them in to make them taste better? Or maybe it's just the brand I got (Navitas Naturals)? I really don't want to throw them away, and I know there are lots of benefits, but I just can't stomach them!!

haha, I hate them, too! Blech! My husband bought some and they just sit in our pantry. I'd like to see some ideas, too!

They may take some getting used to, or maybe the brand isn't as good, or maybe they just don't suit your tastes.

To me, they taste kind of like dried cranberries and cherries mixed together.

To salvage them, I suggest blending them up dry to make a powder, then put a little bit of that powder in a fruit smoothie.
