- Gather all your ingredients: frozen blueberries, pomegranate juice, fresh spinach, banana, and ice cubes. Having everything ready makes the process smoother.
- In a blender, start by adding the frozen blueberries. These will provide the base flavor for your smoothie, so it’s essential to get these in first for optimal blending.
- Next, pour in the pomegranate juice. The juice adds a beautiful tartness and balances nicely with the sweetness of the blueberries.
- Now it’s time for the greens! Toss in the fresh spinach or kale. This may seem like a strange addition, but trust me, it adds a nutritious boost without altering the flavor.
- Slice your banana in half and add this creamy fruit to the blender. The banana will help thicken your smoothie while adding sweetness.
- Finally, add in the ice cubes. This is crucial for achieving that refreshing chill that makes your smoothie so enjoyable.
- Secure the lid on your blender and blend on high until all ingredients are completely smooth. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides to ensure everything is well incorporated.
- Once blended, pour the smoothie into two glasses. You’ll notice the vibrant color and smooth texture are simply irresistible!
- Serve immediately for the best taste. You can garnish with a few extra blueberries or a slice of banana on the rim if desired for an extra touch.
- Note: If you prefer a thicker smoothie, you can use a frozen banana and skip the ice cubes. I often alternate between both methods to change things up!
