    Got some pomegranite (sp?) juice last night, and froze them into little popsicles for the kids... then let some start to defrost, and blended with fresh blueberries. YUM, what a smoothie! Might try adding some banana next time to experiment.

    Just had to share ~ I needed the vitamin boost after that darn flu whipped my keester a couple weeks ago :shock:

    (if you haven't had pom juice before, its a natural way to fight breast cancer)

    That sounds really good! I'll have to try that combination.

    I love smoothies. My favorite is two bananas, a pound of frozen strawberries, and a big handful of spinach. Throw in a couple Tbls of water to get everything blending. Yum!

    wow I never thought to add spinach to a smoothie. I make them a lot in the summer for breakfast. I will try that! I like to juice veggies too!

    yeah, we're a "juicing family" here... I like the health benefits, and the two youngest kids have really been inventive with new recipes over the last couple years. I think we've instilled the importance of vitamins / natural health with them ~ now if I could just get them to eat mustard greens :) they all think they're too spicy, but I'll just munch on a leaf!

    Have you tried kiwi / strawberry / mango? Ooooh, that is a GREAT way to start a morning!

    Mmmmm hadn't tried adding honey, I'll have to try that! Most men are scared of healthy foods... until they get older, and regret all the years of junk food :)

    Thanks I’ll have to try this I’ve never had a pomegrate in a smoothie before. I love smoothies and keep different fruit in the freezer for them. I always add a banana and wheat germ too. My favorite smoothie is pineapple & banana. When melons are in season they are excellent in a smoothie! Takes a while to cut up a large water melon but I stick them in the freezer. The melon smoothies taste better to me without a banana.

    Winterpromise31, thanks for the spinach suggestion will try this too.
