Pomegranate Smoothie
Briefly

Pomegranate Smoothie
"This delicious pink drink is bursting with fruity flavor and one of my favorite ways to use pomegranate seeds (except eating them by the handful, of course!). This recipe pairs the jewel-toned seeds with frozen pineapple and banana to make a creamy puree that's full of nutrients and vitamins. Throw in a little Greek yogurt for protein and you've got a smoothie that's filling and irresistibly good. My kids go gaga over this one (the recipe was actually my son's idea!)."
"Frozen pineapple: Pineapple melds with the pomegranate and doesn't overwhelm. Other ideas? Frozen mango or frozen blueberries. Banana: Use a room temperature banana: no need to freeze it unless you want to! Ice: This completes the frothy texture. Greek yogurt: Greek yogurt adds loads of protein: 12 grams or 6 grams per serving. You can use the vegan variations below as desired. Maple syrup: We like just a hint of sweetener for this one to brighten the flavor!"
A creamy pink pomegranate smoothie combines pomegranate seeds with frozen pineapple and banana to create a nutrient-dense, vitamin-rich puree. Greek yogurt adds protein, contributing roughly 6–12 grams per serving, while ice produces a frothy texture and chilled consistency. A small amount of maple syrup brightens the flavor and can be swapped for honey or agave. Frozen mango or frozen blueberries make effective pineapple substitutes for different fruit profiles. Use a room-temperature banana; freezing is optional. Pomegranate seeds can be removed from whole fruit or purchased pre-seeded for convenience. Children often enjoy the sweet, tangy flavor, making it a family-friendly option.
