Here's a winter-inspired smoothie that pairs vanilla protein powder with tart pomegranate juice. The acidity of the juice helps balance the sweetness of the powder for a beverage that's great for breakfast or a midday refresher. If you want a smaller smoothie, halve all the ingredients, or make the full recipe and share it with a friend. It's super-cute poured into tall, skinny glasses garnished with fresh pomegranate arils and a mint leaf.
