Introduction
Welcome back to Nutrition in a Glass — a simple, feel-good series built around the idea that nourishment doesn’t have to be complicated to be meaningful. If Part 1 was about easing into the rhythm of blending something nourishing at home, this recipe is about settling into it.
This Strawberry, Pomegranate & Banana Smoothie has quickly become one of my favorites. It’s naturally sweet, perfectly creamy, and made with ingredients that feel both familiar and intentional. With the addition of vanilla Greek yogurt, walnuts, almond milk, and a drizzle of honey, this smoothie has a satisfying richness that makes it feel like more than just a drink — it’s a moment.
The video captures exactly how this blend fits into everyday life: a quick lineup of ingredients, a smooth blend, and that final pour that reminds you taking care of yourself can be simple. No complicated steps. No overthinking. Just one glass at a time.
Why This Smoothie Works So Well
What I love about this smoothie is the balance. The strawberries and banana bring natural sweetness, the pomegranate adds a bright, slightly tart note, and the creamy base ties everything together beautifully. Nothing overpowers anything else — it all just works.
Adding vanilla Greek yogurt and walnuts gives this smoothie a heartier feel, making it especially satisfying when you want something that feels substantial without being heavy. It’s one of those blends that feels just as good mid-morning as it does during a slow afternoon reset.
The Ingredients (Simple, Thoughtful, Satisfying)
Here’s what goes into this blend — all easy to find, all doing their part:
- Strawberries – sweet, juicy, and vibrant
- Pomegranate – bright and slightly tart for contrast
- Banana – the creamy base that smooths everything out
- Vanilla Greek yogurt – adds creaminess and a noticeable protein boost
- Walnuts – a subtle richness that makes the smoothie more filling
- Almond milk – keeps everything light and blendable
- Honey – just enough to enhance the natural sweetness
You can use fresh or frozen fruit depending on what you have on hand — both work beautifully.
How I Make It (No Fuss, No Rules)
This is a true “add and blend” recipe:
- Add all ingredients to your blender
- Blend until smooth and creamy
- Adjust the texture with more almond milk if needed
- Pour, pause, and enjoy
That’s it. No extra steps. No perfection required.
A Protein-Forward Smoothie That Still Feels Light
Thanks to the Greek yogurt and walnuts, this smoothie has a protein element that makes it feel more satisfying than a fruit-only blend. It’s the kind of drink that actually holds you over — whether you’re starting your day or needing a midday pick-me-up.
I love that it feels balanced without trying too hard. It’s nourishing, filling, and still very much a treat.
When I Reach for This Smoothie
This is my go-to when:
- I want something quick but intentional
- I’m craving something creamy and naturally sweet
- I want a smoothie that actually feels like enough
It’s become one of those recipes I don’t have to think about — and that’s exactly why I keep making it.
Make It Yours
This recipe is flexible by design:
- Swap walnuts for almonds or cashews
- Use more yogurt for extra creaminess
- Adjust honey to taste
- Add ice for a thicker texture
Think of it as a starting point, not a strict formula.
Nutrition in a Glass — Part of a Series
This recipe is Part 2 of my Nutrition in a Glass series — a growing collection of simple blends designed to fit into real life. If you loved the first entry, this one builds on that same idea: nourishment that feels doable, comforting, and enjoyable.
More blends are coming.
Closing Thoughts
Sometimes taking care of yourself looks like slowing down long enough to pour something nourishing into a glass. This smoothie is one small way to do exactly that — simple ingredients, blended with intention, enjoyed without rush.
One glass. One moment. That’s enough.
