This POM smoothie is full of super healthy antioxidants from the pomegranate juice and and the almonds. The banana provides a great source of potassium. This is being labeled as a breakfast smoothie, but it ain’t bad for a lunch smoothie either. Why is pomegranate juice (POM) so wonderful: Its has wonderful healthy benefits such as Antioxidants. There have been many Scientific Studies showing that POM can support a healthy cardiovascular system and helps with problems such as high blood pressure and diabetes Type II among others.
And just how rich in antioxidants is POM pomegranate juice? Take a look at the image below rating high antioxidant juices. POM scores the highest.
Oh yeah, what about the POM Smoothie recipe? Here it is:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup POM wonderful 100% Pomegranate Juice
- 3/4 cup soy or low-fat milk
- 2 ice cubes
- 1 large banana
- 2 tablespoons almonds
- 3 table spoons protein powder (optional)
- 1 teaspoon honey or stevia sweetener
In a blender combine all ingredients. Cover and blend on high for at least 30 seconds (make sure the almonds aren’t visible) then pour into two glasses. Makes 2 servings.
I was wondering what the nutrition facts were for this smoothie. Can anyone help?
The almonds didnt get ground….
What type of blender are you using? I find it takes a high-end blender like a Blend Tec or a Vitamix to effectively grind up nuts, however, as an alternative, you could try a spoon of pure, raw almond butter instead (in any amount to suit your taste). We make smoothies with almond butter using a $49 immersion blender.
You can go on Myfitnesspal and enter the ingredients … It breaks down the nutritional info for you. :)
