    I hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving and now its Holiday celebrations and shopping time for the duration of this busy time of year.  It's such a hectic season, besides Holiday parties filled with cocktails, appetizers, baked cookies, everyone is so busy and eating on the go!

    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.

    FAQs about Cranberry Smoothie:

    Can fresh or frozen cranberries be used to make a cranberry smoothie?

    Either fresh or frozen cranberries can be used to make this smoothie.

    I have leftover cranberry relish and cranberry sauce, can either be added to the cranberry smoothie?

    Leftover cranberry relish, make a cranberry smoothie. Make this smoothie with ½ cup of cranberry relish instead fresh cranberries and it was delicious! I have yet to try cranberry sauce in this smoothie. Feel free to give it a try and start with ⅓ cup cranberry sauce since it is sweet.
