Haven’t thought about eating cranberries since you finished the last of your Thanksgiving leftovers? Big mistake. The tart berries are rich in vitamin C, fiber, and phytonutrients that fend off inflammation and reduce your risk of cancer. What’s more, they happen to make an excellent smoothie ingredient.
Check out the crave-worthy cranberry smoothie recipes we saw on Instagram this week:
Women’s Health cover star Heidi Klum isn’t the only one who’s eating up this smoothie, which is made with cranberries, strawberries, lime juice, low-fat cottage cheese, and skim milk. We can’t wait to try it, either!
Sweet fruits balance out the tartness of cranberries in this simple recipe, made from apple slices, strawberries, cranberries, and a couple scoops of nonfat plain Greek yogurt.
Don’t worry—this Chunky Monkey Cran smoothie only looks like a diet disaster. (Its ingredients are actually pretty healthy!) To try it, combine cranberry juice, unsweetened almond milk, banana, avocado, raw cacao, liquid stevia, and some ice cubes. Then top the smoothie off with banana, cacao nibs, and dried cranberries. Yum!
Looks like this pretty purple smoothie contains everything but the kitchen sink! Recreate it with spinach, celery, cucumber, raspberries, pineapple, lemon juice, orange juice, water, and cranberries.
Almond milk and sliced almonds give this vegan cranberry smoothie a nutty flavor, while bananas bulks up its consistency.
