Slurp it down!

Coco-Pom Twirl

Very refreshing!

Coco-Pom Twirl Recipe
Makes 1 serving. 

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup pomegranate juice
• 1/2 cup coconut water

Instructions:

1. Pour in glass and enjoy.

Important: look for coconut water that has very little sugar! Pom juice is always chock full of sugar, so you definitely don't need sweetened coco water. Optimally you'd be getting it straight out of the coconut, but most of us don't have palm trees ready to go at all times for our coconut water whims.

Fun fact: the juice in a coconut is coconut water. Coconut milk is made from the "meat" - the white stuff - inside the coconut. Fresh coconut "meat" and coconut water are high in fiber, so consume with care!

Challenge mode: plan ahead and freeze the coconut water overnight (in an ice cube tray) before making this drink, then blend up the coco cubes with the pom juice - mmm!

Ingredients:

Instructions:

1. Toss all ingredients in the blender.

Pomegranate juice is such a sweet, flavorful and antioxidant-rich element that I recommend you keep your fridge stocked with it at all times! Instead of acai juice, you could always use unsweetened almond milk or orange juice in this recipe.

Drink this smoothie quickly or the blueberries will melt and you'll get a gelatinous smoothie. Play with the ratio of grapefruit to pomegranate juice for a tarter or sweeter drink!
