- 1 medium Frozen banana
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
- 0.75 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon Honey (optional)
- 4 pieces Ice cubes
Instructions
Carefully deseed a fresh pomegranate to obtain 1 cup of pomegranate seeds. Alternatively, you can use pre-packaged pomegranate arils for convenience.
Peel a ripe banana, slice it into chunks, and freeze it ahead of time if it's not already frozen.
In a blender, add the pomegranate seeds, frozen banana, Greek yogurt, unsweetened almond milk, and honey (if using).
Add the ice cubes to the blender for a chilled, frothy texture.
Blend on high speed for 1-2 minutes or until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
Pause and scrape down the sides of the blender as needed to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated.
Taste test the smoothie and adjust sweetness by adding more honey if preferred, blending again briefly.
Pour the smoothie into two serving glasses and garnish with a few extra pomegranate seeds on top, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Pomegranate Smoothie!
