Recipe of the Week - Cranberry Ginger Smoothie

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 

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!
