Pomegranate & Acai Super Smoothie

Makes 2 servings

2 cups frozen strawberries
1 1/2 cups almond milk ice cubes (see below)
1 frozen banana
1 1/2 cups pomegranate juice
1 tablespoon acai powder
1 tablespoon pomegranate powder

To make almond ice, simply freeze unsweetened almond milk in an ice cube tray until solid. Almond ice creates a lovely creamy texture, similar to a milk shake. While blending if the consistency is too thick add additional unsweetened almond milk.

Blend all ingredients together until frosty and delicious.

Enjoy!
