About this smoothie

Banana is the classic base for creamy smoothies: the riper it is, the sweeter and smoother the drink. Here it meets pomegranate seeds, which add a gentle sourness and a faint pink colour. Bananas provide potassium, pomegranate seeds some fibre, and almond milk a light nutty flavour without dairy.

The result is filling enough for breakfast or a snack between meals, yet still fresh thanks to the fruit acidity.

Bartender tips

  • A frozen banana makes it thicker and colder, like a light milkshake.
  • Use unsweetened almond milk; the banana is sweet enough.

Variations

With oats
Blend in 1 tbsp rolled oats for a more filling breakfast smoothie.
