Pomegranate blood orange smoothie to slowly sip & savor
On our whole30 journey, our family learned to love POM juice. While the magical fruit has always been a favorite even with our super young early-eaters, it was like manna in the desert to be able to sip some sweet juice.
And it never got old.
But we started adding limes to it, and mixing it up. In fact, one day I made myself a little mocktail that was a lot like sangria. Just non-alcoholic of course. And in the progression that is experimenting with the foods we love to love, things like this strangely satisfying pomegranate blood orange smoothie were born.

Pomegranate Blood Orange Smoothie Recipe Ingredients
1/2 cup Pomegranate juice (POM doesn’t have added sugar!)
1/2 cup fresh blood orange juice
1/2 cup fresh tangelo juice
1 ripe banana
It can be difficult to find very flavorful blood oranges, so that’s why tangelo juice is included. If you find the most amazing blood oranges though, you could probably omit the third juice. The banana adds some sweetness without adding sugar or a sweetener.
How to make the perfect Pomegranate smoothie
Gather around your blender as a family in your kitchen.
Haha, not really, but it could be a family event.
Blend everything in the blender until smooth and drink right away. Sip it slow to savor it because you’ll be sorry it’s gone. In fact, you might want to lick the side of your messy jar clean.
Plus it tends to get bitter if left in the fridge. This can serve 2 people – or one large glass if you’re feeling a bit selfish.
ENJOY!

Any hints or recipes welcome. I’m giving up my cherry pepsi too
I would say eat as much protein as you can when you get any sort of sugar cravings to start off. And try not to feeda desire for soda with even a piece of fruit.
