We already know that smoothies are a delicious, frosty treat during the warmer months, but we also love using frozen fruit to fix ourselves a tropical treat when we’re a long way away from summertime (or from that island vacation we’ve been longing to take)!
Using frozen fruit gives the smoothie thickness and creaminess, and bonus– you don’t have to worry about the flavor getting watered down. As a nice way to top off our blended drinks, we decided to add pomegranate seeds which means added nutrients and a nice little crunch with each sip. A tasty, easy snack always sounds good to us– we’re sure you’ll love this one, too!
