Ingredients:

  • 1 cup frozen blueberries
  • 1/2 cup pomegranate seeds (arils)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare Ingredients:
    • If you haven’t done so already, extract the pomegranate seeds (arils) from a fresh pomegranate.

Tips:

  • You can customize this smoothie by adding spinach or kale for extra greens.
  • Adjust the sweetness and consistency by modifying the amount of honey/agave and almond milk.
  • If you want a thicker smoothie, you can add more frozen blueberries or a frozen banana.
  • Experiment with different protein powders based on your preferences.

This smoothie is not only packed with antioxidants from the blueberries and pomegranate but also provides a protein boost, making it an excellent choice for a post-workout snack or a nutritious breakfast.
