Peel the banana and break it into chunks for easier blending.
In a blender, combine the pomegranate juice, frozen mixed berries, banana chunks, Greek yogurt, and honey (if using).
Add chia seeds for added fiber and nutrition, if desired.
Toss in the ice cubes to make the smoothie chilled and thick.
Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides of the blender if needed.
Taste the smoothie and adjust the sweetness by adding more honey or maple syrup, if necessary.
Pour the smoothie into two glasses, garnish with a sprinkle of chia seeds or a few fresh berries for presentation, and serve immediately.
