Ingredients:
1 large pomegranate (about 1 to 1.5 cups of seeds)
2 cups of chilled milk (use full-fat milk for a creamier texture)
1/2 cup vanilla or plain yogurt (optional for added creaminess)
2 tablespoons honey or sugar (adjust to taste)
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional for added flavor)
Ice cubes (optional, for a thicker shake)
Pomegranate seeds and mint leaves for garnish
Instructions:
Prepare the Pomegranate Seeds:
Cut the pomegranate in half, and carefully extract the seeds. Discard any white pith, as it can be bitter. Set aside a few seeds for garnish.
Blend the Ingredients:
In a blender, add the pomegranate seeds, chilled milk, yogurt, honey or sugar, and vanilla extract.
If you prefer a thicker milkshake, add a few ice cubes.
Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Depending on your blender, this may take 1-2 minutes.
Strain the Mixture (Optional):
If you prefer a smoother texture, strain the milkshake through a fine mesh sieve to remove any remaining pulp or seed bits.
Serve:
Pour the pomegranate milkshake into tall glasses.
Garnish with the reserved pomegranate seeds and a sprig of mint for a fresh touch.
Enjoy:
Serve immediately while it's chilled, and enjoy the refreshing and nutritious flavors of this pomegranate milkshake!
Tips:
For a vegan version, you can substitute the dairy milk with almond or coconut milk and use a dairy-free yogurt or skip the yogurt entirely.
You can also add a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
This pomegranate milkshake is not only visually appealing with its vibrant color but also packed with antioxidants and nutrients. It's a perfect blend of sweet and tart, making it a refreshing treat for any time of the day!
