Pomegranate and Acai Super Smoothie

Pomegranate powder is made from the whole pomegranate fruit. This ruby red powder is chocked full of vitamins and minerals and is particularly high in Vitamin C and potassium. It's sweet fruity flavor can be used in a variety of recipes. Pomegranate has three times the amount of antioxidants found in green tea and has been shown to be effective in fighting certain cancers, lowering blood pressure and supporting cardiovascular health.

The deep purple hue of Acai Powder indicates the abundance of powerful antioxidants, which makes it exceptional at fighting free radicals and promoting longevity. Acai is low in sugar, and is high in protein and fiber which helps to keep you feeling full throughout your day. The acai berry is said to be one of the most nutritious foods on Earth.

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!

The Ultimate Sangria Mocktail

Luscious fruit and antioxidant rich juices come together to create this healthy power packed non-alcoholic Sangria. The star ingredients in this "Sangria" are Cara Cara oranges and the incredibly juicy Cocktail Grapefruit. Cocktail Grapefruits are not grapefruits at all, they are actually a cross between a mandarin and a pummelo. I wanted to create a healthier super charged punch, so in addition to Vitamin C rich citrus, I used juices made from acai, blueberry, pomegranate, concord grapes and grape seed extract. There is no added sugar. It's a refreshing and delicious combination.

Sangria Mocktail

2 cups Langers Grape Juice Plus
2 cups Sambazon Acai with Blueberry & Pomegranate Juice
1 cup fresh squeezed cara cara orange juice
1 cup fresh squeezed cocktail grapefruit juice
1 apple - chopped
1 lemon - sliced into rounds
1 lime - sliced into rounds
1 blood orange - sliced into rounds
1 cara cara orange - sliced into rounds
2 cups sparkling mineral water - chilled

Mix all ingredients (except sparkling mineral water) in a large pitcher. Refrigerate for a minimum of 2-3 hours for all the flavors to blend. Add chilled sparkling water just prior to serving.

Cheers!
