Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 ripe banana
- 1/2 cup pomegranate seeds
- 1 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 1 cup spinach
- 1 cup coconut water
Instructions
- Thoroughly wash all fresh produce, including spinach leaves and mixed berries, under cool running water to remove any dirt or potential contaminants.
- Peel the ripe banana and break it into smaller chunks to ensure smoother blending.
- Remove pomegranate seeds from the fruit, discarding any white membrane or pith. Gently separate the seeds to prepare them for blending.
- If using fresh berries, hull strawberries and ensure blueberries and raspberries are clean and free from stems.
- Select a high-powered blender and add the coconut water as the liquid base first to help facilitate smoother blending.
- Layer ingredients in the following order: spinach leaves, mixed berries, banana chunks, and pomegranate seeds on top of the coconut water.
- Secure the blender lid tightly and blend on high speed for 45-60 seconds until the mixture is smooth and uniformly combined.
- Stop the blender and scrape down the sides with a spatula if any ingredients stick to the blender walls.
- Blend again for an additional 15-20 seconds to ensure a completely smooth consistency.
- Pour the smoothie into two glasses, dividing equally.
- Optional: Garnish with extra pomegranate seeds or a few whole berries on top for visual appeal.
- Serve immediately for maximum nutritional benefits and freshest taste.
Tips
- Choose ripe, slightly soft bananas for maximum sweetness and smoother blending.
- Use frozen berries to create a thicker, more chilled smoothie without diluting flavors.
- For an extra nutritional punch, opt for organic produce when possible.
- If you prefer a colder smoothie, add a few ice cubes during blending.
- Invest in a high-powered blender to ensure the smoothest possible texture.
- Prep ingredients the night before to make morning smoothie preparation even quicker.
- Store any leftover smoothie in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 24 hours.
