Cranberries are extremely good for you and they pack in a large antioxidant punch. They are a bit tart, but the oranges and bananas in this smoothie will help to balance out the tartness from the cranberries. You are sure to enjoy the combination of the orange and cranberry flavors. This smoothie also offers plenty of fiber and vitamin C, making it a great addition to your green smoothie cleanse plan.
What You’ll Need:
- 2 large oranges
- 1 cup of purified water
- 2 large bananas
- 1 cup of fresh cranberries
- 2 cups of fresh kale leaves
How to Make It:
Peel the oranges and pull into sections. Peel the bananas and cut into pieces. Wash the cranberries and the kale leaves before using them in your smoothie.
Add the water and kale leaves to the blender. Start blending on low. Once the mixture is smooth, add in the orange sections, banana pieces and the fresh cranberries. Turn up the speed on your blender, blending until you have the desired thickness for your smoothie. Makes two servings.
NOTE: Freeze the cranberries ahead of time to make the smoothie cold and refreshing.
