This simple smoothie is an all-around favorite absolutely loaded with vitamin C. It’s easy to make and is especially good in the winter months when citrus is in season. We’ve been crazy about this smoothie for years, and I know you’ll enjoy it as well. It went viral on Pinterest over 8 years ago now, and it’s still one of our most popular smoothie recipes. Cranberries are often overlooked in my opinion and they really do have a lot to offer. Combining their tart zippy flavor with the sweetness of orange is a flavor combination everyone knows and loves. There’s no banana in this smoothie so you get the pure cranberry-orange flavor. If your oranges are nice and sweet, you won’t even need to add any extra sweetener. But you’ll find a few options below including a creamy version as well. Step 1: Peel the oranges, and break them into quarters. If you don’t have a high-powered blender, break them up into individual orange slices. Step 2: Place all the ingredients into the blender in the order listed in the recipe and blend until smooth. Step 3: Taste to see if you need to add any additional sweetener and enjoy right away.
