    antioxidant pomegranate smoothie

    We love smoothies and it’s a great way to eat fruit that you might not normally just pick up and eat. Like pomegranates! Don’t be scared of them! I show you how to cut and use pomegranates here.

    Antioxidant Pomegranate Smoothie

    So fresh! Great way to start the day!
    Prep Time10 minutes
    Cook Time0 minutes
    Servings - 4 servings

    Ingredients 

    • 1 large pomegranate, deseeded
    • 1 medium banana
    • 6-8 pieces fresh or frozen mango
    • 3-4 pieces fresh or frozen strawberries
    • 1 cup rice milk

    Instructions

    • Remove seeds from pomegranate by opening and scooping out the seeds.
    • Blend all ingredients until smooth. Add more rice milk to desired consistency.

    Here are some photos of my smoothie making effort this morning! Anyone know how to get rid of the seeds in the smoothie??? I thought they would get blended, but they didn’t. My smoothie was too thick to strain. Any ideas would be helpful!?

      I just wanted to say I love your blog…I have found so many recipes to feed my family on an extreme budget (there is myself and my husband, plus 5 children ages 6 and under…and a few of them eat as much as us!)

      As far as pomegranates, I have tried a fruit juice with it before, although I forget what kind it was. I have always seen the POM drinks and wanted to try them, as we are eat very healthy in our house and those would be a great addition to breakfasts! But alas, I haven’t gotten around to it yet…one day!

      I saw a show saying that pomegranate seeds are heart healthy. I have two teenage daughters and want them to learn to eat healthy. Last week we bought our first pomegranate. I wasn’t sure how to pick one, but went for one that was darker in color. We all tried the seeds and thought they were good, but Megan, 17 then sat and ate the entire bowl of seeds. We would love to try something else made with pomegranate!

      I live in Florida, and my favorite thing to do with pomegranates is to mix the seeds with peeled and sectioned oranges. Sometimes for company I will add a bit of Grand Marnier and some pecans.

      It’s very labor-intensive, so I usually do several oranges at a time. I’m always amazed at how much people like fresh fruit like this. Maybe it’s because it takes so much time to prepare.

      Yes, I have had the typical pomegranate as an afternoon snack (MESSY), juice, and even the seeds as a snack, and I love POM juice, but I once cooked that juice as a glaze for my peppered chicken and it was wonderful! Moist and tender, plus think of all those extra antioxidants in my bird!!!

      I love Pomegranates and so do my kids. We eat then plain, sucking the juice off the little seeds. I don’t remember ever letting one go bad unless it was burried deep under fruit in the fridge drawer. They are too exp to let spoin in my house, LOL! We also love POM but can’t afford the label. In Europe, where I am originally from, pomegranate concentrate is considered a great took for HBP (HIgh blood pressure). It is pricey there as well. Thank you for offering the giveaway! I hope we win. With 4 kids we will put all the coupons to use! Natalie

      Your click “here” to add a recipe doesn’t work, I got “Not Found Error 404”.

      I wanted to add this recipe:

      Pomegranate Jelly

      3 ½ cups prepared juice
      1 pkg pectin (powdered, Sure Jell regular)
      5 cups sugar
      4 T lemon juice
      Measure 3½ cups juice into 6 qt pot. Add pectin.
      Stir and dissolve thoroughly.
      Place mixture over high heat, bring to boil stirring constantly to avoid scorching.
      Add sugar and mix well.
      Continue stirring and bring to full rolling boil.
      Boil hard for exactly 2 minutes. (You can prevent excessive foam by adding ¼ tsp of butter).
      Stir constantly.
      Remove from heat.
      Skim foam and pour into sterilized containers.
      Allow 1/8 inch head space.
      Cover with 2 piece metal lids.
      Process in water bath for 5 minutes (1/2 pint jars).

      I just put a whole handful of pom. seeds in my mouth, suck all the juice out and spit out the seeds in bulk….which my husband thinks is just delightful to watch!! HAHA! Your recipe sounds yummy!!

      I bought a pomegranate once, but didn’t know what to do with it, and let it go bad. I’ve been wanting to try POM products, but haven’t yet.

      I’ve been wanting to try those drinks! I’ve had pomegranate seeds at a restaurante in a lamb dish. It was really yummy.

      My husband is crazy about pomegranites, but I didn’t care for them. Taste like cranberries-kinda bitter. Thanks for the giveaway!

      I used to eat pomegranates as a kid. They grew in our backyard. It would be a fun project to pick out all the seeds. They were so yummy. I always see the pom juice and it looks so yummy…but it is pricey.

      I’ve never made anything with pomegranates before but I’ve had the seeds in drinks or on desserts. I’ve also had the juice before.

      I actually have a pomegranate in the refrigerator right now and haven’t decided what to do with it!

      I have tried just the actual pom. I treat myself to one every year when they come out. They are quite expensive in Alaska. $3 each. So I get one every couple weeks during the season. I really really wanna try these dri`nks. I had no idea that they were so good for you. And I wanna try your smoothie…send some my way?

      My MIL bought a pom for the kids to try last year, and I had a little nibble. It was yummy, but wow it was a lot of work 🙂 I’ve been trying to figure out if I wanted to spend money to try pom juice…my have to do so even if I don’t win.

      My grandma had a pomegranate tree in her backyard growing up. We would just eat the seeds out of the fruit. And we’d make jelly out of it. I also like drinking the juice, and who can beat a martini w/ the yummy stuff??!

      Guess I’m really blessed! I have a friend who doesn’t bother with her pomegranates, so I get to pick them all. (Quartering them and then rubbing the seeds off submerged in a bowl of water solves the stained clothes problem. The lighter-weight pith will float, so is easy to separate. Then you can strain off the water for a refreshing, lightly flavored drink or to add to your smoothie). I just throw the seeds in a freezer bag and they’re ready to use. I mainly make them in smoothies, though I recently went to a cooking class where they were used in a spinach salad along with cholla buds (we live in the Southwest.) Did I ever feel healthy! (it was delicious too)

      I finally bought a VitaMix mixer which totally grinds the seeds, so can’t help you with that issue.

      My son just referred me to your site. It’s great! I’ve shopped and cooked much as you describe for many years. I stayed home until my children were in Jr. High, and I always thought of my savings by shopping the ads, using coupons and planning my meals ahead as my tax-free income.

      I’m off travelling now, but will post some recipes when I get back home. Keep up the great site!

      New to your blog and loving it. I LOVE pomegranates. I love the process of eating them, I don’t know why I do but I do. Two of my kids love them as well although I tend not to share when I have one only because I am greedy with certain things and pomegranates are one of those things.

      I buy and drink pomegranate juice often. I also recently purchased a pomegranate fruit and dissected it per the instruction booklet at the display. My daughter ate the seeds plain and I had them with strawberry yogurt. Yum.

      I love “cherry pomegranate” sparkling juice that I get from a local winery. My hubby and I don’t drink, so we always get this as our drink to toast with every New Year’s! Yummmmm…I can taste it now… Haley Julian, [email protected]

      HI there, I know that what works well when taking the seeds out of the pomegranite is having the water icy cold. For some reason it works better than luke warm water. Sounds like a good recipe

      pomegranate tip: skip taking out all the seeds if all you want is the juice. cut the fruit in half and juice it like you would an orange. takes way less time too.

      I’ve been trying to teach my teenage girls to eat healthy. I had heard about the the powerful antioxidants and nutrients that pomegranates contain so we tried one. They are only in our grocery store a couple of months out of the year, but when they are we buy several. The girls eat the seeds like nuts. But they are a little messier!
