Even when the temperature drops outside, I still love my morning smoothies. Sure, it’s not as refreshing as it is when it’s a hot summer day. Smoothies are one of my favorite breakfast choices all year round. I enjoy being able to put so many healthy ingredients into a single frozen drink. Quick, easy and it’s a breakfast that kick starts my day.
Cranberry season calls for a cranberry smoothie! Have you tried frozen cranberries in your smoothie? Well, if not, I’m here to convince you that it will be your new favorite. For this recipe, I added frozen strawberries too, a little cranberry juice and coconut milk too. This smoothie is like a holiday slushy! Berry red, slightly tart from the cranberries and oh so bright. Pin this one, leave a comment below, share it and be sure to tag #sarahbakesgfree!

I have a blueberry-cranberry-banana protein smoothie every morning. I love having the cranberries in the smoothie. And now that they are available fresh in stores for the holidays, I’m stocking up!
Aren’t they so great? Yum! I love stocking up on cranberries too!
Just stumbled on this awesome recipe on Pinterest! Love frozen cranberries and I found a great brand thats available in the grocery store all year long – Cape Cod Select! No need to freeze your own in the harvest season. Cape Cod Select’s cranberries are superior to any other brand I’ve tried. Thanks for the recipe, can’t wait to try it!
I can’t wait for you to try this recipe too!
