Pomegranate Smoothie With Cranberry

July 25, 2009 · Filed Under Fruit Smoothies, Healthy Smoothies · Comment 

Sadly I only discovered the incredible flavor rush of fresh pomegranate seed a year or so ago. So I have missed out, but I am making up for lost time. When the pomegranate is in season (Oct. – Jan.) I try to get the actual fruit, but other times I must buy the pomegranate juice to make smoothie. Here is a great pomegranate smoothie recipe that will perk up your taste buds and give you a burst of energy.

Ingredients:
3 cups chilled unsweetened cranberry juice
3/4 cup chilled pomegranate juice
1/3 cup fresh lime juice
6 packets of no-calorie sweetener
3 cups chilled club soda

In large pitcher, combine cranberry juice, pomegranate juice and lime juice. Stir in sweetener until dissolved. Add club soda and pour into glasses. (Serves 4) Courtesy of InStyle Magazine
