This pomegranate mango smoothie without banana is a flavourful recipe brimming with sweet fruits and oats, and an optional hint of spice. Super easy to make and perfect as a light breakfast or as a mid-afternoon snack!

Love mango for breakfast? Why not try my delicious creamy mango oatmeal or my mango cucumber smoothie for something a little lighter!

As I'm a bit of a smoothie fan, you'll find lots of fun options here including my very popular apple and pear smoothie, berry smoothie without yogurt and mango smoothie without banana. For a bit of a tropical vibe, my lychee smoothie is perfect as a tasty snack.

And for something a little lighter, I think you'll love my easy carrot ginger juice and apple and cucumber smoothie!

This mango and pomegranate smoothie recipe makes the most of these oh-so-pretty and oh-so-delicious fruits. Pomegranate always feels a little decadent doesn't it! We make this smoothie with a touch of oats to make it more filling, and an optional pinch of turmeric to add extra goodness.

⭐ Why this recipe is so good

  • A little indulgent: the pomegranate makes things feel a little fancy, no? Not a typical fruit for a smoothie so it's a bit special.
  • Pantry staples: alongside the fresh sweet fruit, we use a touch of spice and a little pinch of oats and shelled hemp seeds.
  • Easy to make: once you have your pomegranate juice extracted all you need to do is blend!

🥭 Ingredients

all the ingredients labelled to make pomegranate mango smoothie.

All the ingredients and their quantities are set out in the recipe card below.

This delicious smoothie uses fresh fruit and pantry staples. Some notes on a few of them:

  • Pomegranate - this recipe uses a fresh pomegranate that we extract the juice from. Select a fresh fruit without bruising.
  • Mango - you can use fresh or frozen mango. If using frozen mango, you'll get a creamier smoothie.
  • Oats - just a pinch in this smoothie to act as a thickener. If you are gluten-free then the Bob's Red Mill organic gluten free oats are good.

📖 Swaps and substitutions

Use frozen mango in place of fresh. Simply swap out fresh for frozen mango. Using frozen mango will make the smoothie thicker, so you may wish to add a little extra milk.

Use ready prepared pomegranate juice. If it is suitable for you, then use pomegranate juice from a carton. If it is watered down, it may not give the same tangy flavour but will still be delicious!

🔪 Step by step instructions

The only 'work' for making this smoothie is extracting the pomegranate juice, if you are using fresh fruit. Then it's just a case of blending!

Step 1

Remove the pomegranate seeds (arils) from the pomegranate. You can use a small spoon (image 1), and then hold the pomegranate in your hand with fingers spread, seed-side down, and give it a bash with a wooden spoon to remove any stubborn ones into a bowl.

Step 2

Add the pomegranate seeds to a blender and pulse blend for a few seconds to release the juices (image 2).

Recipe tip: give the blender cup a quick rinse after pouring out the pomegranate juice and before using to make the smoothie so as to remove any hard seeds stuck to it.

Step 3

Strain the pomegranate seed mixture through a sieve into a bowl. Place the sieve over a bowl. Allow the juice to run through, and use the back of a spoon to help push the juice through (image 3). Discard the seeds left in the sieve.

Step 4

Add all the ingredients to your blender. Blend to a thick smoothie (image 4), adjusting with ice to taste. Pour into your glasses and serve immediately.

💭 Recipe tips and notes

  • Fresh and frozen mango both work well for this smoothie. If using frozen fruit, the smoothie will likely be thicker and perhaps require a little less mango, and a bit more pomegranate juice.
  • Extracting the seeds from a pomegranate is a messy business! Use a small spoon and definitely don't wear a white t-shirt when doing it . . .
  • Adjust the smoothie with ice to taste. Add a cube at a time so you don't water it down too much.

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Sieve
  • Bowl

Ingredients
 
 

  • ½ cup pomegranate seeds
  • 1 small mango fresh or frozen
  • ½ cup non-dairy milk
  • 1 tablespoon oats
  • 1 teaspoon shelled hemp seeds
  • ½ teaspoon turmeric
  • pinch black pepper optional
  • ice to taste

Instructions
 

  • Add the pomegranate seeds to a blender and pulse blend for a few seconds to release the juices. Strain through a sieve into a bowl, using the back of a spoon to help push the juice through. Discard the seeds left in the sieve.
  • Add all the ingredients to a blender and blend to a smoothie texture. Add ice to taste, then pour into your glass. Enjoy!

Notes

  • If using frozen mango you will likely need a slightly smaller quantity as it will thicken the smoothie more than fresh.
  • Pour the pomegranate juice and milk into the blender first, and then add in the other ingredients. This will help prevent the dry ingredients from sticking to the blender.
  • The black pepper is optional, and will give the smoothie a stronger taste.
  • Please note that nutritional information is offered as a courtesy. It is auto-generated and should be understood to be an estimate.

    I'm going to the grocery store today. I've put pomegranate juice and seeds (I think I can get just the seeds in a container) to give this a try. Looks so good and refreshing.

      Yes, we can get them in a container here too but they are often so expensive! Hope they are more affordable for you. It's definitely easier if someone else has done that step of the recipe!

    I would never have thought to put turmeric in a smoothie, but I love that idea. I admit though, I really am too lazy to deal with pomegranates, they're so delicious but such a pain.

Hi, I’m Claire. After a diagnosis of MCAS I began to follow a low histamine diet, which has helped me manage my symptoms. Here I hope to show that a restrictive diet can still be full of flavourful meals, and help you enjoy being creative in the kitchen.
