Blue Pom Smoothie at 7 Brew – Flavor, Calories and How to Customize It
Despite the name, the Blue Pom Smoothie is not a blueberry and pomegranate puree drink. At 7 Brew, it is a syrup-based flavor blend built from three elements.
These syrups are blended into a creamy smoothie base made from milk and yogurt unless you choose a substitute. Ice brings it all together.
This matters because it changes how you should think about the drink. You are not getting a fresh fruit smoothie. You are getting a precision flavor profile that stays consistent in every location. That is why it always looks the same. That is why it always tastes the same.
The first time I ordered a Blue Pom Smoothie, I expected something light and berry-forward. What I got instead was something far more interesting. It tasted bright, candy-clean, slightly floral, and oddly refreshing in a way that did not match its electric blue color. The barista smiled when I raised an eyebrow. That reaction told me everything. This drink surprises people.
The Blue Pom Smoothie is one of the most talked-about items on the 7 Brew menu because it breaks expectations. It looks artificial yet tastes balanced. It sounds fruity yet behaves more like a crafted flavor system. And it sits in a strange space between indulgence and refreshment.

How the Flavor Really Works?
The Blue Pom Smoothie tastes layered because each syrup plays a different role.
Blue raspberry delivers the first hit. It tastes clean and bright, almost like a blue slushie. That flavor wakes up your palate.
Pomegranate comes next. It adds depth and a gentle tartness that keeps the sweetness from becoming flat.
Lavender comes last. You do not taste it as a flower. You feel it as a soft, smooth finish that takes the edge off the sugar.
The milk and yogurt then soften the entire blend. That creates the creamy texture people describe as smooth and thick without being heavy.
If you have ever tried a fruit smoothie that felt sharp or thin, this drink feels different. It lands softer. It stays balanced longer.
That is the design.
What It Tastes Like in Real Life?
The Blue Pom Smoothie tastes like a blue raspberry slushie blended with a fruit yogurt. It has a candy-clean brightness at first. Then it shifts into a smooth berry tone. The lavender leaves a gentle floral note that you notice more in the aftertaste than in the sip.
It does not taste like real blueberries.
It does not taste like real pomegranate juice.
It tastes like a carefully built flavor meant to feel refreshing, smooth, and playful.
If you love drinks like Frosted Lemonade or Italian soda, you will likely enjoy this.
If you prefer earthy, natural fruit smoothies, this may feel too polished.
Blue Pom Smoothie – Nutrition Facts
A standard Blue Pom Smoothie sits around 200 calories for a small size when made with the default base.
It contains:
That sugar comes mostly from the syrups and the base.
This is not a low sugar drink.
This is not a protein drink.
If you drink it after a workout or on a hot day, it can feel refreshing and energizing. If you drink it every day, the sugar adds up.
How To Order It For Your Goals?
This is where most people miss out. The Blue Pom Smoothie changes dramatically based on how you order it.
If you want it lighter
Ask for a water base instead of milk and yogurt.
This cuts calories and sugar.
It also makes the flavors sharper and more refreshing.
If you want it creamier
Stick with the default base or choose oat milk.
Oat milk enhances the sweetness and smoothness.
If you want it vegan
Choose oat, almond, coconut milk, or water.
All remove dairy from the drink.
If you want it less sweet
Ask for half syrup.
The flavor still works because the lavender and pomegranate carry depth.
>>> These small changes turn the same drink into four very different experiences.
Allergen Overview
Before ordering the Blue Pom Smoothie, it helps to understand how it may affect different dietary needs. This drink is highly customizable, but some ingredients are present by default.
Milk & Yogurt (Dairy):
The smoothie base contains dairy, which gives the drink its creamy texture. This makes the default version unsuitable for lactose intolerance or milk allergies.
Soy:
Some flavor syrups may contain soy-based ingredients.
Tree Nuts:
Blenders and preparation surfaces are shared with nut-containing drinks, so cross-contact is possible.
Gluten:
No gluten ingredients are used.
Caffeine:
The Blue Pom Smoothie is completely caffeine-free.
How to Order More Safely?
You can make the Blue Pom Smoothie easier on your body by requesting:
Always inform the barista about severe allergies so extra precautions can be taken.
Best Customization Options
The Blue Pom Smoothie is one of the most flexible drinks on the 7 Brew menu. A few small changes can completely transform how it tastes, feels, and fits into your lifestyle.
Choose the Right Base:
Your base controls calories, texture, and sweetness.
Milk & Yogurt (Default):
Best for a creamy, dessert-style smoothie.
Rich, smooth, and filling.
Oat Milk:
Adds gentle sweetness and extra creaminess.
Great if you want a vegan version that still feels indulgent.
Almond Milk:
Lighter with a slightly nutty finish.
Good if you want to reduce calories without losing flavor.
Coconut Milk:
Adds a subtle tropical note.
Pairs surprisingly well with pomegranate.
Water:
Cleanest and lightest option.
Cuts calories and sugar while keeping the bright flavor.
Control the Sweetness:
The syrups drive the sugar level.
Most people enjoy the Blue Pom most with half syrup because the lavender and pomegranate still give depth.
Add Real Fruit for a Better Smoothie Feel:
These add-ins turn Blue Pom into something closer to a fruit smoothie.
Top Pairings:
Try only one or two add-ins so the flavor stays clean.
Common mistakes people make:
>>> Ordering it expecting a fruit smoothie
This leads to disappointment. It is a flavor smoothie.
>>> Ordering it large without testing it
The sweetness builds. Try a small first.
>>> Ignoring the base
Milk versus water changes everything.
>>> Adding extra syrup without tasting it
This often pushes it into candy territory.
Artificial vs Natural Color – Why Is the Blue Pom Smoothie So Bright
One of the first things people notice about the Blue Pom Smoothie is the color. It is not just blue. It is electric, glowing, and almost unreal. That visual impact is a big part of why this drink is so popular, but it also raises an important question.
Is that color natural.
The honest answer is no. And understanding why actually helps you make smarter choices.
Where the Blue Color Really Comes From?
The Blue Pom Smoothie does not get its color from blueberries or pomegranate. It gets its color from blue raspberry syrup, which contains food-grade colorants designed to create that bright blue shade.
Pomegranate syrup adds a deeper red tone, which is why the final drink often looks purple or violet instead of pure blue.
This system allows 7 Brew to deliver:
Real fruit could never provide that level of consistency.
Why 7 Brew Uses Artificial Color?
7 Brew builds its menu around speed, consistency, and visual appeal. Artificial color lets them do three things that natural fruit cannot.
First, it keeps every Blue Pom Smoothie looking identical no matter where you order.
Second, it prevents color fading when the drink melts.
Third, it creates that bold, photo-ready blue that people recognize instantly.
For a brand built on drive-thru speed and visual branding, this matters more than people realize.
Is Artificial Color Safe?
The colorants used in blue raspberry syrup are FDA-approved for food use in the United States. That means they are considered safe when consumed in normal amounts.
However, some people are sensitive to artificial dyes. These can include:
How to Decide If It Works for You?
The Blue Pom Smoothie is a treat drink, not a whole-food smoothie. If you want something natural, earthy, and fruit-forward, this is not the right choice.
If you want:
Then the artificial color becomes part of the experience rather than a problem.
How to Order a More Natural Version?
You cannot remove the color because it comes from the syrup.
But you can make the drink feel more natural by:
These changes shift the balance toward fruit and away from candy.
Who the Blue Pom Smoothie Is Not For
The Blue Pom Smoothie is fun, refreshing, and popular, but it is not the right fit for everyone.
If You Are Managing Blood Sugar
A standard Blue Pom Smoothie contains around 46 grams of sugar. That can push blood sugar up quickly, even though the drink feels light. For people with diabetes, insulin resistance, or frequent sugar crashes, this matters. You may feel a burst of energy followed by fatigue or hunger. If you still want to enjoy it, ordering half syrup with a water base makes it far more manageable.
If You Want Real Fruit Nutrition
This drink uses flavor syrups, not blended blueberries or pomegranate seeds. That means you do not get fiber, natural vitamins, or the slow digestion that comes with real fruit. If you are drinking smoothies for nutrition or gut health, Blue Pom will not deliver what you expect. It is built for flavor, not whole-food benefits.
If You Avoid Artificial Flavors or Colors
The bright blue and purple tones come from blue raspberry syrup and food coloring. The smooth candy-like taste also comes from those syrups. If you prefer drinks that taste earthy, fresh, or natural, Blue Pom may feel too processed. Some people also experience headaches or discomfort from artificial dyes, which is worth considering before ordering.
If You Use Smoothies as Meal Replacements
The Blue Pom Smoothie is low in protein and fiber. It will not keep you full for long. If you drink smoothies as breakfast or lunch, this one may leave you hungry again soon. Adding banana or switching to a smoothie with more whole ingredients works better for that purpose.
