California Power Pomegranate Smoothie

California Power Pomegranate Smoothie
Filled with a rainbow of fruits and a dose of oatmeal for fiber, this smoothie has been a favorite of Liv as she re-energizes after hours of dance rehearsals.  Even my "There's no way I'm drinking that with spinach in it!" son has asked for seconds.  Putting my new Blendtec to use, this smoothie comes together in mere seconds!

1 cup unsweetened pomegranate juice (I like the Pom Brand)
1 decent handful organic baby spinach
1 handful frozen mangoes
1 handful organic frozen blueberries
2 Tbs oatmeal
1 whole orange (peeled and chopped)

Place all ingredients into your blender and blend to desired smoothness.  Pour into glasses, garnish with a few pomegranate arils and serve immediately, or, freeze into popsicle molds for later.

Makes two smaller sized smoothies or 1 larger single serving.  Double ingredients for two large smoothies.  Occasionally we drop in a few chunks of banana too.  Enjoy!
