Spinach-Pomegranate Smoothie

This smoothie is similar to the Parsley-Pomegranate Smoothie, but a little sweeter and a bit more tart.

Parsley-Pomegranate Smoothie

Large handful of fresh Parsley (roughly two cups)
1 Pomegranate
2 Bananas
1 T. Pomegranate concentrate (mine is a super-concentrate by Jarrow Formula)

Cut the Pomegranate in half and with a knife, cut around the interior of the fruit, loosening not just the seeds but also the pith. With a spoon, scoop the seeds & pith out, scraping the inside of the fruit to get it all.

Add all ingredients into blender (more powerful blender better for the Pomegranate seeds).

Add water (or water & ice) to the 30 ounce mark (or whatever works for your particular blender model).

Blend & drink.
