Blueberry Pomegranate Smoothie

I know you're thinking, smoothies are easy, why is she putting this on her blog?  Well, I wanted to share this one because it is an absolute favorite of my boys and requested on a daily basis.  It's easy, healthy, and one to try. 

Blueberry Pomegranate Smoothie
Serves 2

1/2 cup crushed ice
1/2 cup blueberries
banana
1/2 cup pomegranate juice
1/2 cup low fat plain Greek yogurt
1/2 cup spinach leaves (shh...they don't know about this part)

In a blender, combine all ingredients.  Blend on high until well combined. 

Pomegranate and Açaí Super Smoothie

As I continue to search for healthy and delicious choices in 2013, I stumbled (literally, I wasn't looking for a smoothie) across this recipe in my Food & Wine Annual Cookbook 2012.  I didn't have all of the ingredients, so made some modifications based upon what was in my refrigerator. 

What a tasty breakfast smoothie this was for my boys and I today!  A little tart, a little sweet - and packed with lots of nutrients! 

Kudos to my oldest who suggested I take the smoothie outside for the photo.  He said that it would be a good picture like we were sitting outside while the sun was coming up to eat our breakfast!  Smart boy!
