With frozen cranberries, nutrient-packed spinach and flax seeds, this is the perfect smoothie recipe to keep in your back pocket as the holiday season approaches.
Holiday Detox Cranberry Smoothie
You guys know I love smoothies. But usually my smoothies tend to stray far from the hippie green smoothies. You know, the smoothies that are 90% vegetables and 10% yum. I like my smoothies to be fruity or oaty or coffee-y! But with the holiday season approaching, and knowing that I will inevitably eat way more pumpkin pie than any human ever should, I thought today we could whip up a smoothie that might counteract some of that binging…a Holiday Detox Cranberry Smoothie!
