Banana Pomegranate Smoothie with Oat Milk
Taste
Creamy and mild, with sweet banana and pear and a fresh, tart pomegranate note.
About this smoothie
Pomegranate seeds are tart, juicy and slightly astringent, a nice contrast to the soft sweetness of banana and pear. Baby bananas are small and particularly sweet, so one is enough here. Oat drink adds a creamy texture and a mild cereal note while keeping the smoothie dairy free.
The pear contributes juice and fibre, especially with the peel on. Together the ingredients make a filling, gently sweet smoothie for breakfast. Pomegranates are in season in autumn and winter, which is when this drink is at its best.
Bartender tips
Strain through a fine sieve if you prefer no crunchy bits from the pomegranate pips.
Ready-prepared pomegranate seeds from the chiller section save a lot of time.
Variations
Berry twist
Add 50 g of raspberries for a deeper pink colour and more tartness.
