Cranberry Smoothie Reviews

• I tweaked this recipe.1 C orange juice1 C vanilla yogurt1 C frozen cranberries1 C frozen grapes1 banana3 baby carrots1/2 C ice1 t vanilla extract1 T flaxseed meal (optional)

• The combination of raspberries, marionberries, and blueberries for the frozen mixed berries plus the cranberries was a little too tart for me, so I did add a light squeeze of honey. I couldnt taste the almond milk at all, and although this was an OK smoothie, I really missed the creaminess that yogurt brings. Next time, I will add some vanilla Greek yogurt, and Im sure that will bring this up to a 5-star rating for my taste preference.

• This was pretty and had a good base flavor. It was just a tad too tart for my taste with the cranberries. I found that with another cranberry smoothie too though. I did a mix of strawberry, blueberry, and raspberry. I blended them well with the almond milk first, to break down any of the raspberry seeds. I also had to use all frozen fruit as that is what I have. That avoided the refrigeration afterwards, anyway. I made a 1/2 recipe and tried it with the half of banana as suggested. I ended up adding the whole banana, which helped with the tartness. This was very healthy. ty Mottsbella

• A great use for those leftover cranberries from Thanksgiving recipes. I used regular milk , frozen banana and frozen blueberries (more than 1/2 cup) to make a great balance between sweet and tart. Using frozen fruit eliminates having to waiting for this drink. With these changes the rating would be a 5.

• This is a delicious smoothie that is a little less sweet than some, which suits me fine. I wish I had a frozen banana instead of a room temperature one, so it would be a little thicker, but Ill plan better next time. I like that there is no added sweetener here, if you get unsweetened almond milk, and I like the cranberries, which are good for you, but not incorporated in many drinks in non-cranberry cocktail form. Thanks

• This smoothie taste very good. I added 2 tablespoons of flaxseed and 2 tablespoons of agave nectar.I will definitely make it again.

• I made this recipe and it was good. But after I added 1/2 cup of vanilla low fat Greek yogurt it gave it another kick. The yogurt gives it a creamy taste and if youre like me trying to cut back on sweets, it stratifies that ice cream craving. Only thing I dont like is the berry chunks even after blending other than that great recipe.

• Will definitely make again. I added 1/2 cup greek yogurt and a squirt or two of honey. Increased the frozen fruit (strawberries and blueberries). Also used vanilla almond milk. Will definitely make again and try different tweaks.

• Pretty good but still pretty bitter have to add two banana and a cup of mix Berries then its like perfect

• I think you have to really like cranberries for this. I didnt tell my daughter it was any different from other smoothies and she took one drink and said, Yuck I drank mine but I was ready for it to be gone. I even added a little oat to tame it down a little.
