Sweet Cranberry Smoothie
Have you ever wondered how to use cranberries in a smoothie? I know that I used to… Cranberries naturally have a bitter, sour taste and so it’s necessary to find the right balance of ingredients when making a cranberry smoothie so that your smoothie tastes delicious… and is not unbearable to swallow.
Did you know: Cranberries are so good for you! They are full of powerful antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and are amazing for reducing inflammation in the body as well as boosting the immune system.
This simple cranberry smoothie is easy to make, is naturally sweet and creamy, is full of healthy & essential nutrients and is a well balanced meal. This recipe contains healthy essential fats & good carbs!
This recipe is also free from any nasty ingredients and is totally refined sugar, dairy & soy free!
I hope that you enjoy making this smoothie as much as I do… xo
Here’s what I like to use…
