Notes
- Every blender is unique in how well it processes ingredients. Pomegranate seeds can be tricky. I use a Vitamix and need to blend for about one minute.
- If you have a less powerful blender, you need to process the smoothie longer so that it comes out creamy and not chunky.
- If you want to add some berries, opt for a ½ cup of frozen strawberries to maintain the color of the smoothie. If doing this, you’ll want to add in ¼ cup of water. With these additions, the recipe makes one super large smoothie or two smaller ones.
- In a pinch, a quality pomegranate juice will work in place of the arils!
