Pomegranate & Ginger Glow Smoothie
This recipe balances the earthy sweetness of carrots with the tartness of pomegranate and a spicy kick of fresh ginger.
Ingredients
Category Ingredient Quantity
The Base Fresh Carrot Juice (or 2 chopped carrots) 1 cup
The Fruit Pomegranate Arils (seeds) ½ cup
The Kick Fresh Ginger 1-inch knob, peeled
Creaminess Greek Yogurt or Frozen Banana ½ cup
Liquid Coconut Water or Orange Juice ½ cup
Garnish Fresh Mint & Pomegranate Seeds For topping
Instructions
Prep the Veggies: If you don’t have a juicer, finely chop the carrots so they blend easily. Peel your ginger using the edge of a spoon.
Combine: Place the carrot juice, pomegranate seeds, ginger, and your choice of creaminess (banana or yogurt) into a high-speed blender.
Blend: Start on a low setting and gradually increase to high. Blend for about 60 seconds until completely smooth.
Note: If using whole pomegranate seeds, you may want to strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve if you prefer a silkier texture.
Adjust: If it’s too thick, add a splash more coconut water. If you want it colder, add a handful of ice.
Serve: Pour into a tall glass and top with fresh mint leaves and a few extra pomegranate arils, just like in the photo!
Pro-Tip for Success
If you find the pomegranate seeds too “crunchy” for your blender, try using 100% pure pomegranate juice instead of the whole seeds for the liquid base. It keeps that deep flavor without the texture of the pits.
