Christmas is all about red and green and I am all about Christmas and chocolate!  Why not incorporate them all together!?

Red Goji Berries are one of natures greatest superfoods!  They have been known to treat diabetes and high blood pressure, maintain eye health, and nourish the kidneys and liver. They’re packed full with vitamins C and E, along with carotenoids like beta-carotene and lycopene.  Goji berries help increase metabolism and boost energy levels. Green pistachios, help lower LDL (bad) cholesterol and raise the HDL (good) cholesterol.  They are high in antioxidants A and E and also help fight inflammation.  Together, these make a delicious combo which are not only good for your health, but also your waistline!
