Notes
Want to make your fruit smoothie go further? Try adding a drizzle of omega-3-6-9, avocado oil or melted coconut oil to the mix to aid in the absorption of fat soluble vitamins. Fatty acids are also important for keeping your brain functioning properly and your heart healthy.
I use my lemon squeezer to juice the pomegranate. This is done by cutting the pomegranate in half and then into quarters, then placing a quarter into the lemon squeezer and pressing the juice into a bowl. Another method that works well is to seed the pomegranate, add the seeds to a blender and pulse to mix, then strain the mixture into a bowl through a fine-mesh strainer. Then use a spatula to press every last drop out. I think my method is quicker and easier. ;-)
