More delicious pomegranate smoothies for your breakfast
I used the single serving of Food and Wine magazine’s Pomegranate and Banana smoothie and I added some protein powder to the mix.
It was quite delicious and the protein kept me full until lunchtime.
Since trying that Food and Wine recipe, I found a few more smoothie recipes made with pomegranate.
1) Food and Wine Pomegranate and Banana smoothie
>>>>Ingredients<<<<
2 cups plain nonfat yogurt, well chilled
2 cups pure pomegranate juice (fresh squeezed or bottled fresh), well chilled
2 large bananas, thickly sliced crosswise

In a blender, combine the chilled nonfat yogurt with the pomegranate juice. Add the sliced bananas and puree. Pour the smoothie into tall, chilled glasses and serve at once.
2) SmoothieWeb.com’s Blueberry Pomegranate Smoothie with Honey & Orange

1 (12 fluid ounce) can fat-free evaporated milk
2 cups frozen blueberries
1 cup pomegranate juice
1/4 cup frozen orange juice concentrate

1/2 cup ice cubes
>>>>Instructions<<<<
PLACE evaporated milk, blueberries, juice, concentrate, honey and ice in blender; cover.
Blend until smooth.
Pour into tall glasses and serve immediately.
* NOTE: Substitute Evaporated Lowfat 2% Milk for Fat Free Milk, and cranberry juice for pomegranate juice, if desired.
3) GoodtoKnow.co.uk’s Pomegranate, Raspberry and Banana smoothie

1 banana, sliced
125g raspberry and vanilla soya yogurt alternative

You might need to cut the recipe in half if you’re making it for 1!

Those all sound good… and healthy, although I’m always dubious of anything ‘powdered’. I would replace the yogurt with tofu (you can’t taste it, for those in fear of it), add ground flax seed, oat bran and wheat germ, and any berries with the pomegranate juice, and even a carrot, and a little soy milk for blending.

Like linda mentioned, i don’t know about powdered, i go generally for the most basic, like green smoothies, which are intense but the healthiest thing you can find.
