Posted Dec 04, 2017, Updated Jun 24, 2024 Around here we drink smoothies all year long! I love creating healthy, smoothie recipes with in-season fruits & veggies. This beet & pomegranate smoothie recipe includes two of my favorite winter produce items; beets and pomegranates! This pomegranate smoothie is packed full of antioxidants, fiber, fruits and veggies so you can start the day energized! Plus, if you give it a fancy name like Santa Slush or Rudolph Fuel – it can be a great addition to a Christmas breakfast. One morning my son took a sip and exclaimed, “Mom this is so good! Can you make it every day”
Pomegranate Smoothie: Ingredient Substitutions
Almond milk. Substitute any milk you’d prefer in this recipe – dairy milk, coconut milk, oat milk etc. Honey. If you like your smoothies a bit more tart you can omit the honey. I have found that in order for my kids to love smoothies I need to add at least 1 Tablespoon of honey. Use maple syrup for a vegan version. Spinach. Any leafy greens work well in this recipe! I suggest spinach and kale.
How to Make a Pomegranate Smoothie
This recipe is as easy as putting all the ingredients in a blender and turning it on! As always, I recommend using a Vitamix to make your smoothies. Put the ingredients in the order listed in the recipe card into the blender – always begin with liquid ingredients (except honey).
