Ingredients
- 1.5 cup frozen wild blueberries wild blueberries have higher antioxidant content
- 1 cup 100% pure pomegranate juice unsweetened
- 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt can substitute with almond milk yogurt for vegan option
- 1 medium banana ripe, for natural sweetness
- 1 tbsp chia seeds provides omega-3 fatty acids
- 0.5 tsp honey or maple syrup optional, to taste
- 0.5 cup ice cubes optional, for a frostier texture
Notes
For the best texture, use frozen fruit instead of fresh to achieve a thick, milkshake-like consistency without watering it down with ice. This smoothie can be made 12 hours in advance and stored in an airtight mason jar, though the chia seeds will thicken the mixture significantly over time. If this happens, simply shake well or add a splash of water before drinking.
