Oats and banana make this smoothie properly filling, while pomegranate seeds turn it a soft pink and add a fresh, tart edge. Dried goji berries bring a light, slightly tangy sweetness.

Banana Pomegranate Smoothie with Goji Berries
Creamy and filling, sweet banana with tart pomegranate and a light fruity tang from the goji berries.
This is a smoothie that works as a breakfast on its own. Rolled oats add fibre and body, banana adds sweetness and creaminess, and whole milk with a splash of almond milk gives a mild, round base. Goji berries are usually sold dried; soaking them briefly makes them blend smoothly.
Pomegranate seeds contribute colour and a juicy tartness. Their small inner kernels break down in a good blender but can leave a little texture in weaker ones.
Yes, it keeps well in the fridge. The oats will thicken it, so stir in some milk before drinking.
Not with whole milk. Use a plant drink instead and it is fully plant based.
Yes, 50 ml unsweetened pomegranate juice works; reduce the milk slightly.
