Simple Ingredients

• 1 cup frozen cranberries

• 1 cup frozen strawberries

• 1/2 cup unsweetened plant-based milk (such as coconut milk or almond milk)

• 1/2 cup cranberry juice or pomegranate juice (with no added sugar)

• 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup (adjust to taste for sweetness)

• 4 to 5 ice cubes

Easy Instructions

1. Load the Blender: Place the frozen cranberries, frozen strawberries, and ice cubes into the bottom of a high-powered blender.

2. Add Liquids and Sweetener: Pour the unsweetened plant milk and cranberry or pomegranate juice over the frozen fruit. Drizzle in the pure maple syrup.

3. Blend Until Smooth: Secure the blender lid tightly. Blend on high speed for 1 to 2 minutes. Continue blending until the mixture is completely smooth, thick, and creamy, with no whole berry pieces remaining.

4. Serve Immediately: Taste the smoothie. If you prefer a sweeter drink, add a tiny splash more of maple syrup and pulse briefly. Pour the bright red smoothie into a tall glass, garnish with a few extra berries if desired, and enjoy fresh.
