Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup pomegranate seeds (cut and seed 1 pomegranate or buy 5 ounces seeds)
- 1 cup frozen pineapple
- 1 banana (room temperature)
- 1 cup ice
- 1/3 cup Greek yogurt*
- 1/2 tablespoon maple syrup
Instructions
- Place the pomegranate seeds in the blender and blend for a few seconds until mostly liquified.
- Add the remaining ingredients in a blender, breaking the banana into pieces. Blend until creamy and frothy, stopping and scraping down the sides as necessary.
- Eat immediately or store 1 day in a sealed jar; if it separates, shake to re-integrate it.
Notes
- For vegan/dairy-free: Substitute Greek yogurt with ⅓ cup coconut milk and add 1-2 tablespoons nut butter or 2 tablespoons chia seeds for protein.
- Using pomegranate juice: Replace the seeds with ⅓ cup 100% pomegranate juice. Consider using a frozen banana for better texture.
- Frozen banana option: If you prefer a thicker smoothie, use a frozen banana instead of room temperature.
- Sweetness adjustments: Start with less maple syrup if using flavored yogurt (vanilla or strawberry), then add more to taste if needed.
- Alternative fruits: Swap frozen pineapple with frozen mango or frozen raspberries for different flavor profiles.
