I don’t tend to post smoothie recipes on Wholefully all that often. I think smoothie “recipes” are kind of a cop out. Smoothies are so fool-proof. Just throw things in a blender and go. It’s one of those items that you do not need a recipe for and you certainly don’t need me telling you what you’d like in a smoothie.
And then I made this smoothie. And it was so good I wanted to shout from the roof tops.
So here we are, sharing a smoothie recipe. It’s stupendously easy, but incredibly flavorful. It’s also jam-packed with antioxidants that help repair cell damage. Healthy cells=lower risk of cancer, heart disease, arthritis and even the common colds. Antioxidants are our friends.
Bonus: it totally looks like the “blood” they drink on The Vampire Diaries. #fangirl*
* Actually, Babyface was the one who pointed it out. Not me.

how do you get pommigranit juice when there is only pips
Lots of grocery stores sell pomegranate juice in the normal juice section. 🙂
THE HUSBAND LIKES IT!!! I have been trying for 3 years to get a healthy smoothie down him without all the faces, spitting and throwing of hands a baby makes when tasting a yucky food for the first time! (seriously, he acts worse!) You are a genius…thanks for the great smoothie idea!!!!
Ohhhh!! This sounds and looks amazing!! So refreshing and healthy, too!
I would recommend adding raspberry or orange sherbert along with a protein powder to any smoothie – yummie and healthy
Yum! That sounds awesome. I love sherbet.
Mmm, I know smoothies are easy and not exactly a science, but I still love seeing smoothie “recipes.” I think of them more a smoothie “ideas.”
My favorite is strawberry mango!
Mmm that really does look like an amazing smoothie – I love it when smoothies are really vibrant colours!
I’ve never even thought of putting clementines in a smoothie before which shows that sometimes, smoothie recipes are justified 🙂
I know what you mean about posting smoothies – but I like seeing them! I make a lot of smoothies so I’m always looking for new ideas 😀 This looks delicious!
