Berry Pomegranate Smoothie

March 9, 2015 by Keri 61 Comments

A fruity smoothie that is full of good-for-you ingredients! You’ll never taste the veggies in this energizing drink.

Pomegranate Smoothie

Happy Monday everyone! Have you adjusted well to the time change? I have – daylight saving time is my favorite time of year. It means spring is in sight! I’m so much happier and awake during this time of year. Plus, yesterday felt like spring here – it was 50º and sunny, which meant no coat for this girl.

If you’re dragging from losing your hour of sleep, no fear! I’ve got a delicious and energizing smoothie recipe to beat your time change blues. This berry pomegranate smoothie is full of fresh vegetables, sweet fruits, and healthy fats for the perfect healthy drink. 

Pomegranate Veggie Smoothie

This smoothie combines romaine lettuce, celery, cucumbers, pomegranate seeds, berries, pineapple, almonds, mint, and lime juice. It’s such a refreshing and filling drink! Don’t worry – you can’t taste any of the vegetables. 

When I first came up with the idea for this smoothie I used kale. Well, it turns out my body can’t handle raw kale. Painful is all I’m going to say about that! I happened to have romaine lettuce on hand so I threw that in, but you can easily use spinach or kale (if your body can handle it) for an even bigger nutritional boost. 

Smoothie Ingredients

I’ve enjoyed this smoothie all week long! I try to come up with a new recipes each week so that I’m getting variety out of my smoothies. One thing I always include is cucumber – it’s a low calorie, refreshing addition to all smoothies since it doesn’t add much in the way of flavor. Celery and romaine are also low calorie additions that add a nice nutritional boost. 

Usually, I try to keep the fruit additions low so that I can keep the sugar content in check. Berries and pomegranates are great options because they are lower in sugar than other fruits, but high in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. The pineapple is what really helps mask the flavor of the veggies and sweeten everything up. 

Lime juice and mint flavor everything up, while almonds add a dose of healthy fats to help you absorb all the vitamins and minerals in the smoothie. I’ve been into unsweetened almond milk as my smoothie liquid, but coconut milk or water work well too here. 

Smoothie

This recipe makes one large, or 2 snack-size smoothies. I generally have it for lunch as I like to have eggs or something more substantial for breakfast. If you want to boost the protein content, feel free to add your favorite protein powder. You probably won’t ever find me using protein powder – I just can’t get on board with it! I prefer to get my protein from food and there is just something that freaks me out about protein powder.

    A pomegranate will not make anyone sick. It has started! Pomegranate is a yummy and wholesome fruit.

    This fruit is beneficial in cardiovascular disease, coagulation, and nausea. A pomegranate tree of bare caste should not be in the home.

    Pomegranate is also quite beneficial in cough. Take dry or fresh buds or dried leaves of pomegranate and boil 2-3 basil leaves and then 1-2 grains of pepper at the case of any cough then boil it regularly as a tea. Taking it for a few days also provides relief from chronic cough.

    best juicers for carrots One of the most important things to do when juicing your carrots is to use a high quality juicer. This will ensure that you get the maximum amount of nutrients and flavor from your vegetables so you’re not just making juice, but creating a delicious and nutritious meal in one glass

    Blenders are one of the greatest appliances that one can have in the kitchen.
    Most of the time, we see that we have major appliances like toasters, fridges, microwaves, and ovens.
    Blenders will make you a nice blended drink, or make you a nice smoothie in the morning.
    If you want you can buy a good quality blender from our epicurious
