Made with cranberries and fall spices, this Cranberry Spice Smoothie is the perfect tangy and refreshing holiday-inspired shake! Blend it up in just a few minutes for a nutrient-packed meal or snack.
Cranberry Spice Smoothie Recipe
Cranberries are a very tart and tangy fruit, which is why they’re often paired with other ingredients or heavily sweetened, like in cranberry sauce or juices. I am personally a big fan of the natural taste of cranberries and wanted to pair it with fall flavors for a delicious and creamy Cranberry Spice Smoothie! The cinnamon and nutmeg in this recipe help cut through the tanginess of the cranberries and truly puts me in the mood for all the upcoming holidays!
Many people consider cranberries a superfood and for good reason: they are high in powerful antioxidants, plant compounds, and vitamins to support cardiovascular health and immunity. The majority of the nutrients are actually concentrated in the skin of the fruit which is why it’s typically best to use the whole berry to reap the benefits rather than drinking a cranberry juice which often has large amounts of added sugars. With this recipe, you get all the immense health benefits of cranberries in a yummy, sugar-free way that your body will thank you for!
