I love cranberries and really overdosed buying for #cranberry week and Thanksgiving. Freezing cranberries is always great to save them to use all winter. Use fresh cranberries to make muffins, bread, and crisps throughout the winter. Clearly, I love cranberry and orange together and I needed to detox after all those yummy Thanksgiving calories! Thus we have this fabulous Cranberry Orange Smoothie.
