Pomegranate: A New Take on My Old Favorite (Banana, Pomegranate, and Spinach Smoothie)

I’ve gotten myself into a rut with my smoothies lately being the same old, same old…bananas, baby spinach and sometimes some frozen strawberries or orange pieces.  Today I wanted to try something new and inspiring.

Just before the holidays we purchased a really great juicer.  This is something I’ve always wanted, or thought I wanted.  So far I’ve enjoyed juicing carrots, apples, oranges and even making almond milk.  Pretty good stuff!

Today was the day to be daring.  I tossed my banana in the blender then tossed a pomegranate into the juicer.  I added a couple of tablespoons of the pomegranate juice to the banana and blended away.  A little extra water was added since I knew that I didn’t really want pudding.  Tossing in some baby spinach made this a great snack for me!

The outcome?  Not too bad.  The pomegranate was a little tart for me but for those who really enjoy this juicy fruit, I’m sure it would be loved be all!  A little more spinach or romaine would have been a great asset.

I wonder where my imagination will take me next time?
