This Cranberry Smoothie is a delicious, sweet, tart, and gorgeously vibrant, seasonal sip. Dairy free and refined sugar free!
It seems cranberries are my new obsession.
October was pumpkin all-the-things. The end of November is turning out to be cranberry all-the-things.
Considering cranberries are often served at Christmas, too, I’ve got you all set!
This creamy drink can be made using fresh cranberries or leftover cranberry sauce. Either way it’s super easy. Wake up and start your day with this sweet and tangy Cranberry Smoothie!
Cranberries are rich in vitamins and minerals, like vitamins C, E, and K. They also contain good amounts of fiber, manganese, and copper, along with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties.
Cranberries are good for you, so drink up this Cranberry Smoothie and reap the benefits.
Just 4 ingredients, 2 minutes, and a blender is all you need. How can you not love a quick and easy recipe like this?
Breakfast is served! Or snack. Or even dessert.
This recipe is perfect for using up any leftover cranberry sauce you have lying around from the holidays (you know you have some!).
Of course, I’m partial to my Maple Cinnamon Cranberry Pear Sauce, but you can use whatever you have on hand.
And if for some reason you didn’t make cranberry sauce, don’t have leftovers, or just want to make this any other time of year – no worries, you can use 1 cup of fresh (or frozen) cranberries with a little cinnamon and maple syrup.
I hope you love this recipe as much as we do! If you tried it, please use the rating system in the recipe card and leave a comment below with your feedback.
