I am not even a "smoothie person".
I am a "I want to try my hardest to stay healthy this winter" person.
This is incredible. Absolutely incredible.

Cranberry Ginger Smoothie
Ingredients
- 8 oz fresh cranberries
- 1/2 of an orange
- 1/2 inch knob of fresh ginger- grated
- 1 frozen banana- if your banana isn't frozen, just add 1 cup of ice
- 3 tbsp raw honey
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 cup kefir. If you don't have kefir, you can use coconut milk or yogurt.
Instructions
- Chuck everything in your high speed blender and blend until smooth and creamy.
- If the pulp from the orange bothers you go ahead and run the smoothie through a strainer. I leave it in.
- Enjoy!

I feel like I have tried every green smoothie recipe known to man. I love them all. My toddler, not so much. He’ll drink it, but only ever half, and sometimes with bribing. I know, I know. Many of you are aware that I’m a big fan of Baby-Led Weaning. And bribing isn’t a word in their vocabulary. But I just get so excited about the rawness and goodness of these drinks! And in my opinion, what’s not to like, right?
I finally thought that maybe I was adding too much. Maybe the flavor palette was overwhelming him. So I simplified, but still left the greens :). He downs it now, and also has no idea that I put his probiotic in there ;). It is now tasty, cheap, and easy.
