Before our kids were born my husband and I used to go to a local smoothie bar almost every Friday night. We loved their smoothies and it wasn’t too long before the owner knew us by name. My favourite smoothie there was a strawberry and cranberry smoothie and I’d order it every time I got the chance.
I’ve made many delicious smoothies in my day (like this Berry Vanilla Smoothie and this Green Apple Spinach Smoothie) but I love the combination of strawberries and cranberries so much I had to recreate my smoothie bar favourite for this month’s #FoodieMamas strawberry recipe roundup!
Ingredients in Cranberry Smoothies
This cranberry smoothie has the perfect combination of sweet and tart flavours, and you can make the easy smoothie recipe with just 5 ingredients:
- sweet strawberries
- tart cranberries
- cranberry juice
- vanilla yogurt, and
- spicy cinnamon
Of course, you will also need a blender to mix the cranberry smoothies in. This is the blender I use. It’s sturdy and never lets me down!
I know you’re going to love it as much as I do!
If you like really thick smoothies, feel free to add some extra ice cubes when you’re blending it. My kids love thick smoothies because it makes them feel like they’re drinking a milkshake.
This winter smoothie recipe makes 2 adult-sized servings or 4 kid-sized servings. My kids loved the smoothies, despite the tart cranberry flavour. Strawberries are such a great fruit to add to any smoothie to create sweetness and paired with cranberries and cinnamon at this time of year is the perfect way to enjoy them!!
One serving of the cranberry smoothies is 5 Weight Watchers SmartPoints. (if you haven’t checked out the new Weight Watchers Program yet, you can check it out here).
