Recipe: Berry Pomegranate Smoothie

Craft & Design Food & Beverage

In the Kitchen

By Katie Goodman
I love smoothies for breakfast or afternoon snacks in the summer. They’re cool and full of great fruity flavors. While I definitely enjoy going to the smoothie shop occasionally (they do have a super duper blender that purees much better than mine), it does get expensive, and smoothies are really simple to make at home.
This is my take on a smoothie that our local smoothie shop makes. Packed with pomegranate juice and berries, it’s definitely a healthy and refreshing treat. Greek yogurt adds a little bit of protein. If you’d like, add a half a banana as well, but it doesn’t really need it.

Ingredients

1 cup mixed berries i.e. blackberries, raspberries, and blueberries
2/3 cup pomegranate juice
1/3 cup plain or honey Greek yogurt
Ice, if desired, for a thicker smoothie

Mint optional garnish
Makes 1 large or 3 small smoothies

Directions

Berrypom Step1
Step 1: Combine the berries, juice, and yogurt in a small food processor or blender. Puree until very smooth.
Berrypom Step2
Step 2: Add up to 1/2 cup of crushed ice if you would like a thicker smoothie. Puree until ice is incorporated into the smoothie.

Step 3: Garnish with additional berries and a mint leaf for a pretty presentation.
You can use this ratio as a guide to creating other smoothies: 1 cup fruit, 2/3 cup liquid, and 1/3 cup yogurt or sorbet.

    […] I’ve been dreaming about a vitamix for a while now, due to my smoothie habit of course and I thought I’d share some recipes for you from my pinterest board! How gorgeous and thick does this berry and pomegranate smoothie look?! I think the recipe calls for greek yogurt for thickening but I would just use a banana and up the berries or the juice bit! The recipe for this smoothie can be found via this link. […]
