A pomegranate green smoothie has the tart winter flavor of pomegranates balanced with the smooth texture of avocado and a boost of spinach. This is a great smoothie for breakfast or a snack.
If you love one of our green smoothies (Green Smoothie Recipe, Mango Green Smoothie, Peach Green Smoothie Recipe, and Pineapple Green Smoothie), you’ll love this new Pomegranate Green Smoothie.
Smoothies are super simple to make. Just toss everything in a blender. This recipe will make two servings and will last in the refrigerator for up to a day if you don’t have anyone to share with.

What greens can you put in a pomegranate green smoothie?
The green color in this pomegranate green smoothie comes from the combination of spinach and avocado. If you want to try other greens, any of these will work:
- Kale
- Arugula
- Collard greens
- Swiss chard
I recommend keeping the avocado in the pomegranate green smoothie recipe. Avocado creates the texture you want in a smoothie. It thickens it and makes it smooth and easily drinkable.
The Best Blender for Smoothies:
For sure to make a delicious smoothie, you need a good blender that can crush ice into a drinkable slush and cut through frozen fruits, nuts, and seeds well. One of my favorite ones is the NutriBullet, just because it allows you to blend in the cup you’ll be drinking from. It’s so practical and makes clean up a breeze. Every smoothie I’ve made using it has turned out amazing!
Another one that I love is my Vitamix, and it’s the one item in my kitchen that gets used EVERY single day. It’s one of my favourite tools in the kitchen. I make smoothies, my blueberry muffins, my mashed cauliflower, and lots of soups with it. It’s also used to make sauces, spreads, and dips. I love it so much and really recommend it.
