Pomegranate Berry Smoothie
Smoothies are great, especially in the spring and summer. That’s when I really start to craaaave fruits and vegetables and push pasta to the side. (Not every time, though. I still love pasta.) My favorite time to have a smoothie is breakfast, because it feels like I’m kick-starting my day with a boost of refreshing, healthy fruit. Breakfast smoothies are even better with a dollop – or a huge scoop – of yogurt, especially one with a hint of vanilla or honey. Greek yogurt is my favorite because it’s high in protein and makes my breakfast seem a little more substantial. The yogurt also gives smoothies creaminess and tang. If berries aren’t quite in season yet, buy them frozen. This way, you’ll always have some on hand for breakfast, even a healthy snack for the kids.

Notes
Substitute another kind of juice if you do not have pomegranate juice on hand, for instance grape or even apple. Try different flavors of yogurt to add a different twist.
