Pomegranates are eaten in many Middle Eastern countries at the New Year as a sign of luck.   In Greece, the families will smash a Pomegranate in front of their home.  The hope is to disperse many seeds across a wide area.  The more seeds that are scattered, the greater the fortune for the house that year.

Here is our good-luck, morning get-you-out-the-door smoothie.  It takes only minutes to prepare and can be put in a to-go cup for an on-the-go breakfast or snack.
