While grabbing a few bags of raspberries and blueberries from the freezer at Whole Foods yesterday I noticed frozen cranberries. It occurred to me that I’ve been neglecting this nutritious berry lately and thus snatched a couple bags with thoughts of blending them into my smoothie the next day.
The cranberries seemed to synchronistically come along as I was still doing a little detox work and eating lightly to “recover” after a mini-vacation. Something I like to do whenever I deviate from my normal eating habits for a couple of days to a week.
This is another one of those ridiculously delectable smoothies that I must remind myself is as healthy as it tastes good. If you occasionally have sugar and/or chocolate cravings like I do, treat your sweet tooth with this delicious and satisfying smoothie without feeling an ounce of guilt. This chocolate raspberry smoothie also makes for a healthy dessert and is sure to be a hit!
Try this delicious and highly nutritious cranberry berry smoothie as a tasty snack, sweet dessert, or healthy meal to start your day.
I’ve listed flax seeds or ground flax seed as an optional or add-on ingredient in several smoothie recipes, but this is the first to feature flax. Let’s get right into all the wonderful health benefits attributed to this superfood that records indicate having been cultivated as far back as 3000 BC.
Yes, this smoothie does taste as good as its name would lead you to believe. Avocado, mango, and lime make a divine combination.
