No Cook Breakfast Recipes Perfect All Year

This easy cranberry smoothie is a quick and simple recipe.  I love a good no-cook recipe for those days when I’m not feeling like standing around the stove, or for summer nights when it’s too hot to cook. I have a whole collection of recipes that require zero cooking at all, check them out here! 

This smoothie comes together in about 5 minutes, and doesn’t require the stove or microwave to make. Just some fresh produce, and a few pantry staple ingredients and you have a healthy meal ready in no time.  And very little to clean up afterwards… an added bonus!

What’s In This Cranberry Smoothie with Orange Juice?

• Cranberries & Oranges – I get all the fresh produce for my recipes from my garden and from Misfits Market – they sell all organic produce at a super discounted price, and it’s purchased direct from the farmers. We get Misfit Market boxes every other week and love picking out our favorite seasonal produce for delivery.  You can get $10 off your first $30 box by clicking here! 
  If you think organic produce is too expensive… think again, and give Misfits Market a look!

You can use either whole cranberries, or cranberry juice.

• Banana: add 1 banana or some of this great banana powder. When we don’t have fresh bananas, adding a tablespoon of this banana powder to every smoothie has been a great way to get nutrition in.
• Flaxseed Meal: I always add a scoop in my recipes for a little extra nutritional punch!  This flaxseed meal has a wonderful nutty flavor too.  Flaxseeds have a ton of amazing health benefits, so add a scoop to breakfasts, lunches, or smoothies!
• Plant-Based Vanilla Protein Powder – of all the protein powders in the world, this vanilla protein powder is one my absolute favorite!  It’s simple, has just 4 ingredients, and tastes amazing with fruit smoothies. It’s not chalky and contains tons of plant protein to keep you going throughout the day!
• Water
• Ice

The Best Blender for the Job

I’ve owned a lot of blenders, but my high-speed Vitamix blender is definitely the best one I’ve owned. This appliance will blend even the toughest of ingredients (frozen fruit, anyone?) into pulp.  I prefer using my blender to my food processor for sauces or homemade hummus, as it’s much easier to clean out the Vitamix. This is definitely one kitchen appliance we use on a daily basis, if not twice a day!

Frozen Fruit Recipes For the Win!

I used frozen cranberries and banana in this smoothie instead of fresh. When cranberries are on sale in the fall, I stock up and freeze a few bags to enjoy all year long. By using freezer ingredients, I can stock up when they are on sale, and use them in all kinds of great dishes. It saves me a trip to the store, and I can have frozen fruit to use in smoothies in no time.

Check out all my recipes that use Freezer Ingredients on The Herbeevore – great for those days when you want a meal ready fast! And check out my Top 125 Plant-Based Pantry Staples for long-lasting staples that I always keep on hand.

How Do I Make This Dairy Free Cranberry Smoothie Recipe?

1. Add all ingredients to a high speed blender.
2. Blend on low, and increase speed until all fruit/ice chunks are blended and the smoothie is a creamy consistency.
3. Pour into your favorite glass, sit back, and enjoy!

Dietary Modifications

• This recipe is vegan and gluten free – if you are adding a protein powder, make sure it keeps with any dietary modifications you require. I like this vegan and gluten free vanilla protein for this smoothie, if I’m adding a powder!
