The Best Blender for the Job

I recommend using a good-quality high speed blender for this recipe. I have a fantastic Vitamix blender, which I have been using for years, and it gets daily use in our home.

Choose a blender that has a lot of power, and can pulverize even the toughest of ingredients. My blender can chop ice, dates, frozen fruits, make soups, and even blend nuts into homemade nut butter. Using a good high-speed blender will make perfectly creamy smoothies and sauces every time!

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.

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!
