Pomegranate Slam it! Smoothie

With a complex, mind-blowing flavor that explodes like a firecracker (don’t omit the cayenne), this is a heart-healthy delight. Pomegranate lowers blood pressure, keeps arteries supple, decreases inflammation in blood vessels, and helps manage cholesterol. Its phenolic antioxidants (also in strawberries) combat oxidative stress, making this an anti-aging tonic.

Yield: serves 2

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups (360ml) unsweetened pomegranate juice
  • 1 orange, peeled, seeded, and quartered
  • 1/4 cup (35g) chopped red bell pepper
  • 1/8 cup (3g) loosely packed arugula
  • 1/2 small avocado, pitted and peeled
  • 1 cup (160g) frozen strawberries
  • 1 cup (125g) ice cubes

Throw all of the ingredients into your blender and blast on high for about 1 minute, until smooth and creamy.

Boosters Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon pomegranate powder
  • 1/2 cup (15g) loosely packed chard leaves
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper
