7 Brew Blue Pom Smoothie 2026

Pomegranate is a fruit with hundreds of ruby-red seed pods (arils) packed with punicalagins — a powerful polyphenol antioxidant found almost exclusively in pomegranates. Studies link pomegranate consumption to cardiovascular benefits, anti-inflammatory effects, and cellular protection. However, the commercial purée concentrate retains only a fraction of these benefits after pasteurization.

No — despite the similar purple color, Blue Pom tastes nothing like grape. Blueberry provides a sweet, smooth, earthy berry flavor, while pomegranate adds a subtle tangy-tart finish. The overall taste is more complex and less sweet than grape. Think of it as a more sophisticated berry blend.

The "tuxedo" concept comes from tuxedo cake — a layered dessert using both dark and white chocolate for visual contrast and flavor complexity. Dark chocolate adds bitterness and depth while white chocolate adds creamy sweetness. Together they create a richer, more balanced chocolate experience than either alone.

The blueberry-pomegranate purée does contain more anthocyanins and polyphenol antioxidants than strawberry or mango purées. However, the calorie and sugar content is identical to strawberry (350 cal, 69g sugar for Small), and the antioxidant benefits are largely offset by the high sugar. A handful of fresh blueberries (84 cal, 15g sugar per cup) delivers far more antioxidant benefit than a smoothie.
