- 1 cup pomegranate arils
- 3/4 cup frozen pineapple (peeled and cubed)
- 1 large frozen banana (peeled and sliced)

- 1/2 cup cranberry juice
Instructions
- 1
Put the pomegranate seeds into a high-speed blender and blend for about 30–40 seconds until mostly liquefied. Note – If you prefer a smoother texture, strain the juice through a fine mesh sieve to remove any seed bits.

Next, add the rest of the ingredients to the blender and mix until the consistency is smooth and creamy. Tip – If the frozen fruit is too solid, let it sit for about 10 minutes to soften slightly.

If the smoothie turns out thicker than you'd like, add a little more cranberry juice to adjust the consistency. Taste and add extra sweetener if needed.
