High in antioxidants, pomegranates also decrease inflammation in the blood vessels, help blood-flow to the heart, keep the arteries supple, as well as being an anti-aging tonic!
Combined with other highly beneficial ingredients, such as arugula, which is a great source of folic acid and Vitamins A, C and K, this smoothie is a unique, yet divine way to get some wonderful nutrients into your diet.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 1/2 cups pomegranate juice
- 1 cup frozen strawberries
- 1 whole orange, peeled
- 1 small avocado
- 3 to 4 inch chunk of cucumber
- small handful of arugula
- small handful of spinach
- small handful of ice cubes
- optional: 2 tablespoons chia-seed gel
- optional: dash of cayenne pepper
DIRECTIONS
1. Place all ingredients in a high-speed blender, and blend until smooth.
2. Serve (with optional sprinkling of cayenne pepper on top; unusual, but highly recommended), and enjoy!
Approximately 2 servings
