Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use bottled pomegranate juice instead of fresh seeds?
Yes, you can—just keep in mind that bottled juice may alter the texture and reduce fiber content. Fresh seeds add a little crunch and more nutrient value.
Do raisins make the smoothie too sweet?
Nope! They add a rich, natural sweetness that blends well with the strawberries and pomegranate. It’s just the right balance without being overpowering.
What does orange flower water taste like?
It has a light, floral flavor—think orange blossoms, not oranges themselves. A little goes a long way, so don’t skip it, but use sparingly.
How can I make this smoothie more filling?
Add half an avocado or a scoop of oats for extra creaminess and satiety.
Can I prep this smoothie the night before?
It’s best enjoyed fresh, but you can prep the fruits ahead of time and store them in the fridge. Blend everything in the morning for maximum freshness.
