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! What better than a nutritious Cranberry Smoothie to fill your belly.
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.
