Raw Food Recipe: The Sweet-Tart Smoothie with Cranberries

The Sweet-Tart Smoothie

This recipe comes to us from Danielle Felip, a certified personal trainer who combines her love of raw foods with her passion for fitness at Body By Nature.  She is super experienced in nourishing her body after sweating it out, so we’ve asked her to share some of her favourite cleansing, revitalising and nourishing recipe concoctions with us here on the blog.  You’ll love this smoothie of hers which brings in the detoxifying properties of cranberries…check it out.

This is a great post workout recovery drink, slightly tart with a bit of sweet.  Cranberries have anti-inflammatory properties and are an amazing antioxidant in the body.  Coconut water helps restore electrolytes lost during  a workout.  This is also an amazing immune boosting smoothie, loaded with Vitamin C.

Ingredients

• 1 banana
• ½ cup fresh orange juice (if using high-powered blender such as a Blendtec use whole orange)
• ½ cup cranberries
• ½ cup raspberries
• ½ cup coconut water
• 1 scoop Sunwarrior Vanilla protein powder

Directions

If using high powered blender, blend orange first.  Otherwise, combine all ingredients and blend.
