Description

Ready in just five minutes and loaded with nutrition, this pomegranate smoothie is sweet and creamy thanks to the coconut milk and has a hint of spice from the fresh ginger.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup pomegranate arils (seeds)
  • 1/2 frozen banana
  • 1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
  • 1/2 cup full fat coconut milk (canned)
  • 1/4 cup pomegranate juice


Instructions

  1. In a high-speed blender, add pomegranate seeds, frozen banana, grated ginger, coconut milk and pomegranate juice.
  2. Blend ingredients until smooth and creamy, about 60 seconds.
  3. Optional: garnish with extra pomegranate seeds.

Notes

  1. Use a frozen banana to make it extra creamy (and cold!). If you don’t have a frozen banana, use a room temp one but add a few ice cubes too.
  2. If you have time, freeze the pomegranate seeds ahead of time so that the smoothie is extra cold and frosty!
  3. Grate fresh ginger for a stronger spicy kick! If you don’t have fresh on hand, use 1/2 teaspoon dried ginger as a substitute.
