Gorgeous tart cranberries pair perfectly with sweet apples in this refreshingly healthy smoothie! There’s no added sugar to this one! We love them for breakfast or afternoon snacks!

Tart cranberries and sweet apples combine together to make a quick no sugar added smoothie that's perfect for breakfast and afternoon snacks!  Little Dairy on the PrairieOkay, I might be a little bit behind…maybe a lot behind. I know apple and cranberry season are basically over.  But I always buy extra bags of cranberries when they are on in the fall and winter then use them throughout the next few months. Cranberries are packed with good for you “stuff”. I’m not a health nut and don’t know the names of all the good “stuff” they pack. I just heard they are good for you. That’s it! And because it’s January, this post is all about being healthy!

Cranapple Smoothie!

Cranberry Apple Smoothies have been on my blog list since fall. And I’ve have made them quite a few times since then, and for some reason haven’t ever snapped pictures of the lovely concoction. Today though, the kiddos were at school and I decided to whip up a smoothie just for me, and miraculously, I remembered to take pictures before I devoured the whole thing for lunch.  I had a smoothie for lunch because I can no longer breathe while wearing my jeans, and because I’m lazy at lunch and can’t wait to devour my food and take a nap! I LOVE naps! I think I like naps more than I like lunch!

Cranberry and Apple Smoothie

I diced up some apples, I think these were Gala, but any variety will do. You know, a granny smith apple will taste more tart, a honey crisp will be more sweet. You get it! I always leave the skin on my apples when I make smoothies because I heard they are good for you. I usually leave the seeds in my apples too.  Again, I heard they have lots of fiber. And because my Vitamix will puree them in a jiffy and I never know they are in there.

Easy way to make flavorful smoothies

Add the apples, cranberries (frozen of fresh), ice, apple juice, and a packet of Crystal Lite (single serving size). Blend everything on high speed until pureed.

Cranapple Smoothie!!

Garnish with a straw and a slice of apple, because the kids are at school and they don’t care if food is pretty, but I do and today it’s for me! Serve immediately. Take nap! (I heard napping is healthy for you, and I believe everything I hear! And January is all about getting healthy!)

Cranberry and Apple Smoothie! A low calorie, good for you way to start your morning or a refreshing afternoon snack! No guilt here!  Little Dairy on the Prairie

Happy sipping and napping!
