Cleansing Cranberry Smoothie

If you are looking for a cooling and tangy treat or relief from a urinary tract infection (UTI), or both, this cleansing smoothie is for you. If you are prone to UTIs, this smoothie can be a protective measure that will make the urinary tract more acidic and make it less likely bacteria will hang around. Please remember that these smoothies are preventative measures, not cures.
