Smoothie Variations & Recipe Tips
I love using whole pomegranate seeds in my smoothies, but I understand not everybody does.
If you would prefer to use pomegranate juice instead, here’s the recipe:
- Instead of coconut milk and pomegranate seeds, use 1/2 cup of pomegranate juice.
- You will need to add another thickening element, such as a tablespoon of nut butter, 1/4 avocado, or even a tablespoon of chia seeds.
Other variations:
- Even Higher Protein: Add a scoop of unflavored protein powder for 20-25g of extra protein!
- Make It Vegan: Swap the Greek yogurt for a vegan alternative (I tested coconut yogurt) 1/2 avocado, or 1/2 cup of silken tofu.
- Green Infusion: You can either add a handful of fresh leafy greens such as spinach, or a tablespoon of wheatgrass powder!
- Not a Fan Of Coconut? Swap the coconut milk for almond, or soy milk, or simply use plain water.

Blender Compatability
If you use whole pomegranate seeds like I did, not all blenders will work with this recipe.

The main issue with the blenders not suitable for this recipe is the pomegranate seeds.
They just cannot process them as finely as high-speed blenders.
If you do have one of the blenders marked as not suitable, you can still make this smoothie, but you will need to use pomegranate juice instead of seeds.
