Did you know that it’s recently been proven that cranberries have the most antioxidants of any fruit? These little goodies are a nutritional powerhouse, and definitely a superfood. Something I’d like to include in my eating plan on a daily basis.
I recently did another cranberry smoothie that sort of got me hooked on them. They are just so tart and refreshing! So I decided to do another one. This one is even more tart, but still sweet enough to handle it. Just three ingredients and tons of antioxidants!

This sounds super tasty!!
Oh YUM! I’ve never thought of a cranberry smoothie but i LOVE cranberries!
Have you tried this with your yonana machine?
No, I haven’t. But yummy idea!
Because I no longer eat dairy.
Sure!
I made this with unsweetened almond milk instead of coconut milk and it was deeee-licious! Thanks for the recipe
Yes, it qualified. Just count the fruit towards your daily intake.
You CAN do this. You are stronger than a package of splenda!
I like cranberries and never thought of adding it to a smoothie!
I had some cransberries I wanted to use up and came across your recipe. I didn’t know how it was going to taste but it was pleasantly smooth, just enough sweetness from the bananas to take away the sour of the cranberries. I say YES to this smoothie!
Any suggestions for what I can use in lieu of coconut milk in your recipes? I have recently started to develop serious food allergies, and coconut is one thing that I have to steer clear of.
Bev – In most cases, any type of milk will work. Particularly in smoothies. It will change the flavor, but any type will work.
Hi Gracious,
I have TJ’s 100% Cranberry juice…can I substitute that for the fresh? Additionally, can I find the coconut milk at TJ’s?
Thank you.
Lori – Sure, I think that would work. And yes, I get my coconut milk at TJ’s too. The stuff in the can. Just be sure it’s the green label. The light coconut milk. They have a coconut cream there with a brown and white label that is definitely not clean. Enjoy!
