These Dairy-Free Immunity-Boosting Cranberry Orange Smoothies are one of my go-to recipes! Packed with a triple dose of vitamin C from orange juice, strawberries, and cranberries, they’re not only great for boosting immunity but also rich in antioxidants. Plus, they’re vegan-friendly and can be made Whole30-compliant!
INGREDIENTS
- 10 oz fresh squeezed orange juice
- 1 cup frozen cranberries (or any berry of choice; fresh can be used, but it will make the smoothie less thick)
- ½ cup fresh or frozen strawberries
- 4 oz unsweetened coconut or almond milk
- 1 small banana (see notes for a substitute to thicken)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (omit for Whole30 option)
- Optional: Mint for garnish
INSTRUCTIONS
- Add the fruit, milk, and juice to a blender.
- Blend until smooth.
- Pour into two glasses.
- Garnish with an extra slice of orange and mint leaves if desired. Enjoy right away, or store for later!
NOTES
- To reduce sugar while boosting protein, replace the banana with 6 oz of plain Greek yogurt or 1 scoop (30-45 grams) of protein powder.
