After all the cakes & bakes at home I am in no mood to eat anything sweet, so my breakfasts now are mostly drinks or fruits. I don't call this a diet but still I am just playing it safe :P. Usually I love to enjoy fruits as they are but I do love to have drinks/ smoothies that make its super simple yet delicious. So the other day I tried this pomegranate milkshake and it was super yum. If you have picky eaters at home and ones that will not eat pomegranate this is a great way to add this fruit to their diet.
We all know that Pomegranates are known as a blood purifier, they are best source of antioxidants and also aid in increasing immunity. Not only that they have the ability to reduce cholesterol, lower blood pressure and even in suppressing depression to a great extent. I must say that there is so much magic to colored fruits and vegetables that they are so good for our health. And me being a fruit lover, pomegranate comes handy ;-) although I must agree the job of seeding the pomegranate is sure some work but eventually I am sure we all do it right?

ReplyDeleteWow this looks so refreshing and I love your presentation style. I absolutely love pomegranate milkshake, but dnt really get the time to make it from scratch. I buy KDD harvest’s pomegranate juice and store it in my fridge. I think pomegranate is the best for the summers. It instantly cools the body and tastes great.. Thanks for sharing this amazing recipe. I will try and make this recipe on one of the weekends.
ReplyDeleteThis is a perfect combination for good health.Both milk and pomegranate have various health benefits and vitamins that are essential to be healthy.
