Ingredients
Scale
1 cup frozen cranberries
1 cup frozen pineapple chunks
1 cup orange juice (or preferred liquid)
1/2 ripe banana (optional, for extra creaminess)
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
Instructions
Place the frozen cranberries, frozen pineapple chunks, orange juice, and sweetener into your blender.
Add the banana if you are using it.
Secure the lid on the blender.
Start blending on a low speed, gradually increasing to high.
Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Stop and scrape down the sides if needed.
Pour the smoothie into a glass.
Serve immediately and enjoy your sweet-tart creation.
Notes
For a thinner consistency, add a splash more orange juice.
Substitute cranberry juice for orange juice if you prefer a stronger cranberry flavor.
Use fresh cranberries if you soak them in water for 30 minutes first, then freeze them.
