Made this, this morning. Btw amazing. Just using it as a reboot from a long week at work and working out. I can’t find cranberries in my small town. So I bought organic raw cranberry juice. Turned it into cubes and blended away lol. If there’s a will there’s a way.
Jenn S. says
Ice cubes made from cranberry juice is SO SMART!! I actually have some Tart Cherry Juice in my fridge that needs to be used up and I think I will do that. Thanks! So glad you loved the smoothie!
Maxie says
I make ice cubes from the coconut water. I have to watch raw greens and certain ingredients due to my hypothyroidism but interested to see how these flavors meld together.
Jenn S. says
Hope you enjoy it, Maxie!

I never thought of adding cranberries like that. Awesome idea. I have some I need to use too :-).
Jenn S. says
I always have leftover cranberries. I buy so many in the fall….love them! They are great in smoothies! Thanks!
veggiesdontbite says
I hope you’re feeling better by now! I totally agree that smoothies are a great way to pack in the nutrients. This one sounds delicious! Spinach is the one thing I always sneak in.
Jenn S. says
Thanks, Sophia! Definitely on the mend, though this lingering cough is killing me!! I’m not a huge fan of spinach raw or cooked (get wilted and mushy too fast) so sneaking it in smoothies is the way to go for me!! 🙂
Natalie says
This is a super smoothie if I’ve ever seen one! I was expecting strawberries or raspberries, but cranberries are an awesome and different smoothie ingredient. Plus coconut water makes for next level smoothies. I love it straight up, but it makes smoothies extra sweet and bright!
Jenn S. says
Thanks, Natalie! I’m actually not a fan of coconut water straight up, but you don’t even taste it in this smoothie. I just love how many electrolytes it has! Super good for you! And, yes, cranberries….so so yummy! 🙂
Linda @ Veganosity says
I’m so happy to hear that you’re feeling good again, Jenn. You really had it bad. 🙁 This smoothie sounds delicious. I love ginger in smoothies and of course, spinach.
Jenn S. says
Thanks, Linda! That one was definitely a doozy! Glad to be on the mend now!
Strength and Sunshine says
I’m glad you’re feeling better!!! Load up on the nutrients!! This would probably be the only way you could ever get me to drink coconut water! (Hate the stuff straight up!)
Jenn S. says
Thanks! I don’t like it plain either, Rebecca! But, you don’t even taste it in this smoothie! You should try it!
