Pomegranate Kiwi Power Smoothie Recipe

This is a sweet smoothie that provides a treasure trove of antioxidants and nutrients. Pomegranates have been marveled for their ability to boost immunity, improve circulation, and offer protection from certain cancers. Pomegranates also contain vital B-complex groups of vitamins such as pantothenic acid (vitamin B-5), folates, pyridoxine and vitamin K, and minerals like calcium, copper, potassium, and manganese.
Kiwis have extraordinary health benefits as well; they are an abundant source of vitamin-A, vitamin-E, vitamin-K and flavonoid anti-oxidants such as beta-carotene, lutein and xanthin. Both fruits also contain high amounts of potassium; one serving of this drink offers 440 mg of potassium – That should take care of any cramps! This nutrition packed recovery drink is perfect for those with a sweet tooth and can easily be made in under a few minutes.
