Try the New Blueberry Pomegranate Smoothie! @McDonaldsATL #BluePomegranate

It's really hot in Atlanta. Today I think it was nearly 90 degrees outside. When it's that hot outside I love to stop by McDonald's and purchase a Blueberry Pomegranate Smoothie. Have you tried one? If not, you'll have the chance to sample the smoothie on July 4th during the Peachtree Road Race.

Participants are invited to stop by the sampling truck outside the McDonald’s store on Peachtree (located at 2929 Peachtree Road NE, Atlanta, GA 30305), during the race for a free sample of the new Blueberry Pomegranate Smoothie.

Freshly prepared and hand poured for each customer, the McCafé Blueberry Pomegranate Smoothie is made with blueberries, raspberries, a splash of pomegranate juice and other juices and blended with low-fat yogurt and ice. Its unique flavor profile combines the tartness of pomegranate juice with the sweetness of blueberries and raspberries.

Just in case you like your smoothies with low-fat yogurt, you can now customize your order by requesting your Blueberry Pomegranate Smoothies be made with or without low-fat yogurt. Starting at 220 calories for a small size, the new smoothie offers choices from some of the USDA’s MyPlate recommended food groups, such as dairy and fruit. Blueberry Pomegranate Smoothie is the newest addition to the McCafé Smoothie line which includes Strawberry Banana and Mango Pineapple.

McCafé Blueberry Pomegranate Smoothies range from 220 to 340 calories, depending on size:
· Small (12 oz.): 220 calories, offers 12% of the Daily Value for dietary fiber
· Medium (16 oz.): 260 calories, offers 15% of the Daily Value for dietary fiber
· Large (22 oz.): 340 calories, offers 19% of the Daily Value for dietary fiber
