Notes
Have trouble blending? Layering the ingredients with the liquid on the bottom is very helpful in the blades blending the frozen and solid ingredients. Try adding a bit more juice (2 tablespoons) to help the blender cut through the ingredients.
Want to add more protein? Try adding a scoop/serving of your favorite vanilla or unflavored protein powder. I use and love Orgain Vanilla Protein Powder for smoothies.
Sweeteners? With the pomegranate juice and arils, this smoothie should be adequately sweet, however, if you want to add some sweetness, try adding 1 tsp. of a granular monk fruit sweetener or honey.
