Blackberry Pomegranate

Hubs didn't want a smoothie today, so today's recipe is for a 2 cup serving.

 

Blackberry Pomegranate smoothie

1 banana

1/3 c Greek yogurt

1 cup blackberry pomegranate juice

1/2 c frozen blackberries

1/2 T bee pollen

1 T ground flax

1.5 T oatmeal

2 T hemp seed

1/2 T wheat germ

Blend and enjoy. Might add 1 T honey to this.

Also, yesterday I made my first savory smoothie.  It was okay, I will have to get use to this idea of drinking my lunch. Some of my savory smoothies may get turned into soup! I will have to explore the ideas and possibilities of savory smoothies. 

1 cup diced tomatoes (skin off, from my garden, frozen and thawed)

1 raw carrot (cut into chunks)

1 ginger ice cube

handful of raw spinach

water to make 2 cups blended

dashes of salt, cumin, corriander, pepper to taste

Wow! Almost a whole month since I posted something. I have been Blending...some. I don't think anything really interesting though. Just basic smoothies. Lately, my creative juices are not going into my smoothies. Today I am creative. 
Last grocery store trip, pomegranates were on sale for $0.99! I bought 2. I juiced one up today, added some blueberries and was wondering what else would go. I thought of my Greek yogurt. A lot of yogurt is used in the middle east right? So the flavor combo should work.

Antioxidant Boost

1 juice pomegranate (or 1 c pom juice)

1 banana

1 cup frozen blueberries

1 c Greek yogurt

1 T Bee Pollen

Enough water to make 4 cups blended!

Yum! As usual the Greek yogurt makes it creamy. The combo works. Maybe this will help me kick the almost-getting-sick I am feeling lately.
