Okay, I realize creamy and blackberry don’t usually go together but that is what smoothieweb.com is all about, mixing flavors and textures that don’t always come to mind. This blackberry smoothie is worth the risk. Let me know how you like it.

Ingredients:

  • 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream (a good start, yes?)
  • 1 1/2 cups of frozen blackberries
  • 1/2 cup of strawberries
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 tsp lime juice (for a tart kick)
  • dollop of whipped cream

Blend until you can’t wait and then add the whipped cream.

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

Let’s keep this smoothie recipe simple. And please give some feedback in the comments below if this was a hit or a miss.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups of lemonade

Not much else to do but blend and enjoy the tartness of life.
