Time 4m

Yield 40 oz total, 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

3/4 cup water
20 ice cubes, crescent shaped
3/4 cup cranberry sauce, canned whole berries (1/2 of a 16 oz can)
2 cups nonfat yogurt, strawberry banana flavor (2 of the 8 oz containers)

Steps:

  • Put all ingredients in order listed into the blender.
  • Blend by pulsing on highest setting for about 45 seconds. You may need to tilt blender to crush more evenly the ice cubes.
  • Serve & enjoy!
  • Hints & Variations.
  • Garnish with mint leaves & slices of strawberries floating on the top of the smoothies in frosted mugs for looks.
  • Try different flavors of yogurt such as vanilla with a few drops of orange extract.
  • Buy the canned cranberries in the Thanksgiving season when they cost a lot less and they are great for emergency preparedness too!

Tips:

  • Choose a variety of cranberries. Fresh, frozen, or dried cranberries will all work in this smoothie. If using fresh cranberries, be sure to rinse them well before using.
  • Use plain yogurt. Flavored yogurt can overpower the taste of the cranberries. If you want a sweeter smoothie, add a little honey or maple syrup.
  • Add a scoop of protein powder. This will give your smoothie a boost of protein and help keep you feeling full.
  • Use almond milk or another non-dairy milk. This will make the smoothie dairy-free. If you prefer a creamier smoothie, use whole milk or 2% milk.
  • Add some chia seeds or flax seeds. These will add a boost of fiber and omega-3 fatty acids to your smoothie.
  • Top with fresh fruit or granola. This will add some extra flavor and texture to your smoothie.

Conclusion:

This cranberry yogurt healthy smoothie is a delicious and refreshing way to start your day. It's packed with nutrients and antioxidants, and it's a great way to get your daily dose of fruits and vegetables. So next time you're looking for a healthy and satisfying breakfast, give this smoothie a try!
