Description
A bright, tangy, and satisfying smoothie that serves as a balanced breakfast.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup pomegranate juice or 3/4 cup juice plus 2 tablespoons pomegranate arils
- 1 to 1 1/2 cups frozen mixed berries (blueberry, raspberry, strawberry, or your choice)
- 1/2 frozen banana
- 1/2 cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt (dairy-free optional)
- 1 to 2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 1/2 cup cold water or ice (to adjust thickness)
- Pinch of sea salt
- Optional: 1 tablespoon chia seeds or ground flax
Instructions
- Add pomegranate juice, yogurt, and banana to the blender first.
- Top with frozen berries, chia seeds (if using), salt, and honey.
- Blend on low, then ramp to high for 30 to 45 seconds until smooth.
- If too thick, add a splash of water; if too thin, add more frozen berries.
- Taste and adjust sweetness, and pour into a chilled glass.
Notes
Allow frozen fruit to sit for 5 minutes before blending if the blender struggles. Chill your glass in the freezer for 10 minutes for a frosty finish.
