This smoothie is a combo of strawberries and pomegranate. Keeping with the red theme (in to avoid an impolite brown colour) I added some highly nutritious goji berries also. Pomegranate's, like goji berries are known for it's anti-aging properties. You will find that some natural skin-care products are formulated with pomegranate.
This smoothie is lower in sugar than the other smoothies that I have been making this week, which were made with fruits of a higher sugar content, such as apple, pears and bananas. A punnet of strawberry has less sugar than any of those fruits and pomegranates also has relatively less sugar than most other fruits....
I also added ginger, bit of spice that's energizing and is detoxifying.
Strawberries and pomegranates are more expensive than other fruits but everyone should treat themselves from time to time. Plus this smoothie will be comparable to prices of smoothies from smoothie stands and cafes, which don't taste as good anyway This super skin to soul smoothie is worth it
