How to Serve, Store, and Customize This Recipe

Serving

• For extra creaminess, top with a spoonful of cottage cheese or Greek yogurt
• Pour into a chilled glass for the thickest, coldest texture

Storage

• Smoothies are best enjoyed immediately, but you can store leftovers in an airtight jar in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, just shake it before drinking
• Freeze pre-portioned bags of berries, cottage cheese (freeze in small scoops), and hemp hearts for quick smoothie-making during busy mornings
• If prepping ahead, use slightly less liquid; it will naturally thin as it sits

Substitutions

• Swap hemp hearts for chia, flax, or a tablespoon of nut butter
• Replace pomegranate juice with cherry juice, cranberry juice, or orange juice for a different antioxidant profile, or depending on what you have on hand
• Use any berry blend — raspberry-heavy mixes make it tart, while blueberries make it richer and deeper in color
