Ingredients
- 1 cup cherries
- 1 cup chopped broccoli
- 1 medium avocado
- 1 medium banana
- 1 tablespoon flaxseed, ground
- 1 cup pomegranate juice
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Wash the cherries and broccoli thoroughly. Peel and pit the avocado, and peel the banana.
- Combine Ingredients: Place the cherries, chopped broccoli, avocado, banana, ground flaxseed, and pomegranate juice into a high-powered blender.
- Blend Smoothie: Blend all ingredients on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, ensuring no chunks remain for easy drinking.
- Serve: Pour the smoothie into glasses and serve immediately for the freshest taste and maximum nutrient retention.
Notes
- Using a high-powered blender is essential to completely break down the broccoli and seeds for a smooth texture.
- The broccoli flavor is mild and masked by the fruits, making it kid-friendly.
- Ground flaxseed adds extra fiber and omega-3 fatty acids; do not substitute with whole flaxseeds unless grinding first.
- This smoothie is best consumed fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours; stir well before serving.
- Adjust the thickness by adding more or less pomegranate juice as desired.
