Cranberry Smoothie Bowl Recipe

If you love holiday eating as much as I do, you might just love this Cranberry Smoothie Bowl Recipe!

I just love the food we eat around the holiday season.  I don't know why I don't cook things like turkey, sweet potato casserole, cranberries, and pies more often, but I don't!  Those specialities seem to be reserved for the holidays.  But do you want to know a secret?  I actually stock up on cranberries this time of year and throw them in my freezer!  Yes, I really do!  Cranberries are delicious and so so good for you (and I grew up in Massachusetts where cranberry bogs are plentiful, so I realize I might be biased when I say this but...) and they are also so pretty!  I have a cranberry salsa recipe that is out of this world delicious.  I could eat it daily, by the spoonful and be quite happy about life.  So I decided to make a spin-off of this yummy recipe and create a scrumptious Cranberry Smoothie Bowl recipe that is a little more substantial, but a whole lot delicious!  It tastes fresh and just like the holidays!  So quick, stock up on cranberries and hide them in your freezer so you can make this cranberry smoothie bowl recipe all year long!

This post first appeared on my blog Simply Blended Smoothies, it was writtin by me, for me, and posted to a second blog I used to run.  But now the content lives on this website.

I love to use fresh fruits and vegetables for smoothies when possible, but let's be honest, frozen is so easy!  So you can use either for this recipe, just know that fresh fruit usually has a bit stronger of a flavor than frozen, so your smoothie may turn out slightly different in flavor and color depending on the ingredients you use.

What blender is best for smoothies and milkshakes?

There are many blenders you can use for making smoothies, milkshakes and frozen drinks, but I personally own the Vitamix 780 and think it is simply the best.  I get smooth, consistent results every single time which is exactly what I want for all my drinks!  You can buy your own Vitamix 780 HERE.  It is my favorite and I know you will love it too!
