What kind of frozen berries? Mixed berries? All strawberries? What is best ?
I always use mixed berries but any of your favorite will do. 😊
Hi Jenn,
Any experience or recommendations on adding protein powder? I’m thinking vanilla plant-based since others have had success with vanilla yogurt.
I don’t have any experience with protein powders so, while it should work, I can’t give you much more guidance than that.. I would love to hear how the smoothie turns out with it if you try it!
This is a life-saving smoothie! My daughter has a virus and I can’t get her to eat anything because everything taste so badly to her. She looks forward to this twice a day. I added some egg whites to ramp up the protein. Don’t tell her😊 It is refreshing and delicious. Thank you, Jenn!!
Leave it to OUAC to have a superior smoothie recipe, too. 5* as is, but I only had Chobani Zero Sugar Toasted Coconut Vanilla yogurt in the fridge on my third time making it, and it might have been even better—I did cut the honey in half because it was sweetened. Easy, healthy, works well with chia seeds added, too.
Can I use actual pomegranate seeds instead of the POM juice?
Hi Aj, for the best results, I’d stick with the juice. Sorry!
I made it with a fresh banana, frozen strawberries, and no honey. It was perfect.
Awesome mixture of ingredients!
We sprinkle walnuts over it for added protein.
Loved by my grandkids! And the adults. Worked even though I forgot to freeze the banana, used blueberry-pomegranate juice (couldn’t find plain pomegranate juice), and used vanilla Greek yogurt as that is what I had (didn’t put in honey as this yogurt was a little sweeter). Ok so I am one of THOSE reviewers who basically change the recipe – sorry to all those purists out there. But I thought I would add this as it is a recipe that obviously lends itself well to those times when you have to improvise. Those are a kind of special great recipe to me. Thanks!
LOVE THIS RECIPE! One of the best smoothie recipes, in terms of being well balanced, in my opinion. However, I only add a squirt of agave/honey. I think 4 tsp is unnecessary but to each their own. I also split up the berries and do 1/2 blueberries and 1/2 dark sweet cherries. YUMMY.
