Island Breeze 2pts

 

Through the years, I've often been asked if one can juice a pomegranate.

You can juice or blend the seeds, but the white membrane has a very

bitter taste and should be removed. Pomegranate blends in interesting

flavor with the sweet mango. Mango is a good source of beta-carotene,

or provitamin A, a precursor from which your body can make vitamin A.

Beta-carotene is a very susceptible to oxidation ( a result of exposure

to light and air) so drink your caroteen-rich smoothie right after you

make it.

 

1 ripe mango, peeled and cut in chunks from the pit

3/4 cup pomegranate seeds ( remove all membranes) If you do not have a

pomegranate for this recipe, blend in the same amount of diced pineapple

or orange

6 ice cubes

 

Put all ingredients in blender and blend on high until smooth. Serve

Immediately.

 

Serves 2. Serving size 8.6 oz each serving 2 pts
