Fruit shakes make the perfect plant based meal. We all know what a great antioxidant food pomegranates are, but not everyone actually likes to eat them because of the seeds. However, in a fruit shake, you can pulverize them and never know they are there.

| Ingredients: 1 seeded pomegranate, 1 peeled orange, 2 whole pears, 1 1/2 cups frozen berries |
I have pushed the limit of what can be snuck into a fruit shake and still get my family to drink it (kale, spinach, chia...). This is not that kind of fruit shake. I just wanted a simple, seasonal, all-fruit, fruit shake that would taste really good (and use up the pomegranates from my tree).
You may not have the will to de-seed a pomegranate even if you have discovered the 30 second de-seeding technique . For you, there are lots of frozen berry options that incorporate pomegranates these days. The real star of this fruit shake is the pear. I find I don't need any sweetener or even a banana to make this fruit shake smooth and sweet. You won't even need to add liquid to this if your fruits are juicy and in season. This makes about 7 cups, or enough for 3 or 4 servings.

Why am I almost 40 and just now discovering how to do this!
Words don't do this de-seeding technique justice. See link. But you get the idea, score and pull the fruit in half and whack the back of it with a wooden spoon until all the seeds fall into the palm of your hand and the bowl below. No need to discard all the white stuff since you will be grinning it up anyways. |

| Use the whole fruit if you have a high powered blender (remove the stem) |
 |
| Grind the pomegranate seeds, whole pear, and pealed orange until smooth. Add a few tablespoons of water if necessary. |
 |
| Then add frozen berries and blend until all the lumps are gone (add some water if you need to) |
