Instructions
- Add the milk, pomegranate juice, and vanilla extract to a high-speed blender first.
- Add the frozen banana and mixed berries.
- Add the ice cubes and fine sea salt.
- Blend on low for 10 seconds, then increase to high and blend for 35–50 seconds, until completely smooth.
- Check consistency. Blend in 1–2 tablespoons additional liquid if too thick, or a few extra ice cubes/frozen fruit if too thin.
- Pour into a 16-ounce glass and serve immediately.
Tips
- Use fresh or frozen berries depending on availability; frozen will chill the smoothie more. For a dairy-free version, substitute plant-based milk.
