Equipment
- High-speed blender
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup frozen banana chunks
- 1 cup frozen cranberries
- 1/2 cup frozen strawberries
- 1/4 cup unsweetened dairy-free yogurt
- 3/4 cup non-dairy milk add more to thin if needed
- 1/4 cup orange juice optional, for extra vitamin C
- 1-3 teaspoons maple syrup or agave nectar
- 1 scoop collagen optional
- 1 packet cherry pomegranate electrolyte drink mix optional, for hydration
Instructions
- Add 1 cup frozen cranberries, 1/2 cup frozen strawberries, 1/2 cup frozen banana chunks, 3/4 cup non-dairy milk, 1/4 cup dairy-free yogurt, 1/4 cup orange juice (if using), 1-3 teaspoons sweetener, and any optional add-ins to a high-speed blender.
- Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, about 60-90 seconds. Add more liquid if the smoothie is too thick to blend, or more frozen fruit if you want it thicker.
- Taste and adjust sweetness if needed. Cranberries are naturally tart, so you may want the full 3 teaspoons of sweetener depending on your preference.
- Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately, or transfer to a jar for a grab-and-go breakfast.
Notes
Frozen cranberries: Use frozen cranberries for the smoothest texture and coldest result. They're available year-round in the freezer section.
Sweetness: Start with 1 teaspoon sweetener and add more after blending. The tartness level varies based on fruit ripeness.
Storage: Best enjoyed fresh, but can be refrigerated up to 24 hours. Shake well before drinking as separation will occur.
