Banana, Pomegranate & Coconut Smoothie

After rainy May came sunny June.
And sunny June made smoothies into a daily treat, which are made the same way every day… except when yummy ideas come my way.    (wow… I should be a poet)

I actually wanted to make a banana smoothie…
until I saw the bottle of POM in the fridge
as well as the leftover coconut milk I had from making Angela’s delicious cucumber salad.

And a simple banana smoothie turned into a refreshing, flavorful smoothie.

This smoothie was a wonderful healthy treat. The balance between the banana and pomegranate is perfect, with a light coconut aftertaste. I loved the cacao nibs that gave a little crunch and great flavor to some sips!
