    Sweet, tart and delicious - Fresh Cranberry and Orange Smoothie

    Cranberry Orange Smoothie

    It's about that time.  The time to start thinking about using up the eight bags of cranberries that your froze last year around this time.  Apparently I have a deathly fear of running out of cranberries.  It use to be somewhat of a challenge to use up the bags that I so carefully squirreled away.  But now that I have my much loved, Vitamix, I am using them up like crazy!

    Fresh Cranberry and Orange Smoothie

    Frozen cranberries are like little red ice cubes, filled with tart goodness.  I toss them by the handful into almost any smoothie I'm making, or at least the red ones.  Yes, I tend to make my smoothies by color.  I have green smoothies, red smoothies, purple smoothies and brown smoothies.  Smoothies in all colors.  It seems to work well, when I don't have a particular smoothie recipe in mind.

    Fresh Cranberry and Orange Smoothie

    This time, though, I went looking for cranberry smoothie recipes.  The first one I found from Real Simple, Fresh Cranberry and Orange Smoothie, sounded perfect.   This was so good, I've made it 3 times this week already.  Well, I did buy a big bag of oranges, so that's also a push to make this over and over again.  I love the way my Vitamix has turned dessert into a healthy treat.  I made this both with almond milk and regular milk and I tend to prefer the regular milk - it seems to let the cranberry and orange flavors shine through more.  So healthy and so delicious!

      This smoothie looks & sounds so yummy! I have a bag of frozen cranberries, & all the other ingredients on hand (this rarely happens to me), so will make this for my breakfast today. Just FYI, I analyzed the nutrition in this recipe, & here it is: 192 calories, 28g carbs, 3g fat, 11g protein, 116mg soda & 19g sugars. I find that not all smoothies are "healthy" as far as calories, carbs & fat, but this one is really a winner, & perfect for Fall. TYFS!
