Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup cherries sweet or tart
- 1 cup strawberries hulled and sliced
- 1 beet peeled and roughly chopped
- 1 cup cranberries
- 8 ounce pomegranate juice
Instructions
- Place ingredients into blender in order listed. Puree until smooth.
- Pour liquid into two standard 16-well ice cube trays. (Each well holds about 2 tablespoons liquid.)
- Freeze until solid. Remove from trays and store in an airtight, freezer-safe container for up to several months.
- To use add 4 cubes to replace 1/2-1 cup of fruit in your favorite smoothie recipe.
Notes
- Can swap pomegranate juice with 1/2 cup 100% unsweetened cranberry juice.
- You can use frozen or fresh fruit, just thaw the frozen fruit slightly before blending to make it easier on your blender.
- The beet doesn't have to be cooked before adding, raw works great!
