Pomegranate Smoothie Skinny Shake is a delicious drink to start your day off right! The power of pomegranate may help boost fat burning too!
Kick start your diet in an incredibly healthy and delicious way!! This tasty detoxifying drink will knock your socks off.
Pomegranate Smoothie Skinny Shake
My skinny shake recipe makes a scrumptious pomegranate smoothie, to enjoy once a day, mid-morning. If you love smoothies, you’ll flip for the strawberry and pomegranate flavors here. They are fruity, bright and insanely delicious!!
If you love fruit flavored drinks but you don’t need anything particularly healthy, make a strawberry banana smoothie instead!
Other drink recipes that are sure to become family favorites are blueberry banana smoothies and banana orange smoothies.
What’s a Skinny Shake?
So, a few years ago on the Dr. Oz show, a 7-Day crash diet was featured that really piqued my interest. Dr. Joel Fuhrman was the guest.
He discussed many ways to kick start fat burning in your body, and who doesn’t want that?! One of my favorite parts of Dr. Fuhrman’s plan is this detoxifying drink, which he calls a “Skinny Shake”.
Ingredient Notes
This pomegranate smoothie doesn’t get any simpler to make. It’s just pure, healthy fresh fruit and water!
- Pomegranates are classified as a superfruit because of its antioxidant properties, and they’re full of vitamins and nutrients.
- Strawberries, as well as other berries, are lower in carbs, so they don’t spike blood sugar like other high sugar fruits can.
RECIPE VIDEO
Watch the video in the recipe card at the bottom of this post to see how easy it is to make this recipe!
Needless to say, this is my favorite healthy drink. My entire family loves it, and it’s packed with flavor and it’s really refreshing. A skinny shake smoothie makes the perfect mid morning pick me up.
We try to balance eating healthy, and little treats like this one certainly help.
A healthy breakfast and a fat burning morning snack sure make the occasional treat a lot easier on the hips.
Tips for Making Your Pomegranate Smoothie
- Be sure to layer the ingredients in the blender.
- Scrape the sides down as often as necessary.
- Use a high powered blender for best results.
- If you have a standard blender and not a high speed model, try using 1/4 fresh strawberries and 3/4 frozen. This will help make the blending easier.
- For a super thick shake-like consistency, add a few ice cubes to the blender.
Enjoy!
With love, from our simple kitchen to yours.

All of those smoothies look so vibrant and delicious! Want them all♡
Such a great combo. I'm adding this to my rotation! Pinned!
Is there a nutrition count for this smoothie!
Does anyone know the fat and calories for these shakes??? TYIA
Considering the ingredients, I'd venture 0 fat!
As a diabetic, I'm concerned about the sugar content? Thank you.
Skip the pomegranate juice and substitute actual pomegranate kernels or blueberries. Also, you should be able to find unsweetened pomegranate juice or unsweetened cranberry juice in a local health market.
I use the diet pomegranate juice. That helps
ENTER INGREDIENTS INTO "MY FITNESS PAL" IT WILL CALCULATE IT FOR YOU. WORKS WITH ANY RECIPE.
I look it up. 77 in cup strawberries and 73 in pomegranate
Looks delicious. I LOVE pomegranates and wish I could get them year round!
What's the calories on this???
I'm allergic to bananas. How can I make these recipes work for me?
I'm also alergic to banana
I put the recipe into my go meals app because I am diabetic and for the whole recipe it looks like 324 cal., 78g carbs, 4g protein, and 0 fat. It says the recipe is 2 serving so I hope that gives you all an idea. I am going to be trying this �� Thank you for the recipe. Love to all <3
Thank you! 🙂
I put this into my go meals. I am diabetic. 324 calories, 78g carbs, 4g protein, and 0 fat. This is for the whole recipe which is 2 servings. I hope this helps. I will be trying this and thanks for the recipe. (Strawberry and pomegranate)
Appears there is 456 calories in this recipe. Doesn't seem that skinny…Seems tasty though!
ts 2 servings
Its 2 servings
Well I had my husband go out and buy the ingredients to make this smoothie and I am not sure it is for diabetics. So for the full recipe with the ingredients I got it is 500 calories, 138g carbs, 0 fat, and 3g protein. Now she did say that the recipe was two servings so it would break down to 250 calories, 69g carbs, 0 fat and 1.5 protein. Still for diabetics (at least for me) I am restricted to 45g of carbs. I guess if you are just watching your calorie intake and not your carbs this doesn't seem bad at all. I just know I will have to reduce my quantity even more to be able to drink it, but I am still going to give it a try. Love to all and I hope this helps. xoxo ~A
What does our body do with fructose? Hint: it does not include burning fat.
I used the strawberries and added some Greek yoghurt to thicken because I used coconut water instead of the juice.
I looked this recipe up on the Dr. Oz site and this is not the original recipe. The original recipe is:
1 cup ice
4 oz pomegranate juice
1 cup frozen strawberries
Squeeze of lemon
I came up with 172 cories per serving with My Fitness app
When did we drink it in the morning lunch before bed
I tried this pomegranate juice recipe and this tastes just awesome. I recommend everyone to try this recipe they will love this recipe.
