🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- First, give your berries a quick rinse. This is pretty crucial, even if they look clean, just to get rid of any lingering dirt or residue.
- Next up, roughly chop any larger berries, like strawberries. This helps your blender out a bit and ensures everything mixes evenly. Just a simple chop will do.
- Grab your blender and toss in all the ingredients: the pomegranate juice, your mix of berries (fresh or frozen, whatever you're feelin'), and the optional banana for a bit of extra sweetness and creaminess.
- Now, blend away! Start on a lower speed to get things going, then crank it up until everything's smooth and creamy. Depending on your blender, this might take a minute or two. Don't rush it!
- Give it a taste test! This is the fun part. See if it's sweet enough for you, or if it needs a little more pomegranate juice for that tangy kick. Adjust as you like, then blend for a few more seconds to mix it all in.
- Pour your smoothie into a glass and maybe garnish with a few extra berries or a sprig of mint if you're feeling fancy. Then, sip and enjoy! Seriously, take a moment to appreciate the explosion of flavors. It's good for the soul.
- One tip: If you find your smoothie is too thick, add a splash of water or more pomegranate juice to thin it out. Too thin? A few more frozen berries should do the trick. Get that consistency just right.
📝 Notes
- Add a tablespoon of chia seeds for extra fiber and omega-3s.
