Peek-a-Boo Pomegranate Smoothie

The peek of pomegranate in this powerhouse drink packed with superfoods adds vitamins C and K, and folate. Pomegranates are also known to reverse damage done to our bodies by free radicals, thus slowing the aging process. Commercial pomegranate juice generally contains additives and filler ingredients such as cane sugar and corn syrup. In addition, the juice can be a little pricey. So, just make your own. Place your pomegranate seeds in a fine mesh strainer or sieve, and smoosh them with the back of a spoon. Catch the juice in a bowl. Voilà!
