Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 cup pomegranate seeds (from about 1 medium pomegranate)
- 1 ripe banana
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (or any yogurt of your choice)
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 cup almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
- Ice cubes (optional, for a colder smoothie)
Instructions
- Preparation: Deseed the pomegranate. You can do this by cutting the pomegranate in half and tapping it with a wooden spoon over a bowl.
- In your blender, combine the pomegranate seeds, banana, yogurt, honey, and almond milk.
- Blend on high until smooth. If you’re using ice cubes, add them halfway through blending.
- Taste and adjust the sweetness, if necessary.
- Pour into glasses and serve immediately.
Notes
- For a vegan variant, use plant-based yogurt and milk.
- If you’re in a hurry, you can also use store-bought pomegranate juice, but be sure to adjust the sweetness as it might already contain added sugars.
- Garnish with a sprinkle of pomegranate seeds or a mint leaf for added flair.
