CRANBERRY ORANGE SMOOTHIE

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.
