I know we’ve all been burned before by food that was supposed to be good for us but tasted horrible. Thankfully, this power-packed Super Food Smoothie came into my life with its amazingly fresh fruit taste and minimal time to make it! Tossing in frozen fruit, which is perfect for me because then nothing ever goes to waste, spinach, which lasts forever, and delicious walnuts are so quick, and then I’m off to the races, full of great energy!

Ingredients
Fruit: Pick up a pomegranate, raspberries, a banana, blueberries, and peaches or nectarines to make this smoothie. Fresh and frozen fruit are great options, so choose between one or the other or choose a mix of fresh and frozen.
Veggies: A handful of fresh spinach is also needed to make this smoothie.
Nuts: Don’t forget to include a serving of walnuts for added vitamins and a touch of protein.
Coconut Milk: You will need a can of light coconut milk for this recipe.
Extra: You may also need water or ice for this smoothie. If using frozen fruit, you may need water to help everything blend well, or if using fresh fruit, you may need ice.
How to Make Super Food Smoothie
STEP ONE: Add the coconut milk, pomegranate, raspberries, blueberries, bananas, spinach, walnuts, and peaches or nectarines to a blender.
STEP TWO: If using frozen fruit, add water to help everything blend well. If using fresh fruit, add some ice to chill the smoothie. Blend the ingredients until everything is smooth.
STEP THREE: Pour the smoothie into a glass, garnish with more pomegranate seeds and a few berries, and enjoy!
Tips for Success
- When making this smoothie, use fresh fruit, frozen, or a mix of the two. Some fruits are seasonal, so frozen may be the only way to get them, which is great because you can store them in the freezer and not worry about them going bad!
- Fresh spinach works best in this recipe and is much faster to blend than frozen spinach, which must be thawed and drained before use. Chopped kale leaves can also be used in place of spinach.
- Light coconut milk is used in this recipe to reduce the calories in the smoothie, but regular, full-fat coconut milk can also be used.
Are superfood smoothies good for you?
The amount of vitamins and minerals found in the variety of ingredients in a superfood smoothie makes these smoothies a great and healthy start to your day or as a snack!
Fruits such as pomegranates, raspberries, and blueberries contain antioxidants, as does spinach, while bananas contain B6 and are a great source of potassium.
Coconut milk, peaches, and nectarines all contain a good number of vitamins and minerals, along with needed fiber, while peaches and nectarines also contain Vitamin C. There’s no shortage of healthy goodies in this superfood smoothie!
Is it okay to drink a superfood smoothie every day?
Getting enough vitamins and minerals into our diet is challenging, so having a superfood smoothie can be a great and convenient choice. However, Superfood smoothies should only be part of a diet and used as a fun and delicious way to get needed nutrients, along with other foods containing protein and fat. A daily superfood smoothie can be great for boosting nutrition and healthy meals.
