Smoothies seem to be everywhere nowadays. You can find them on the breakfast menu at your local breakfast place, in a juice bar or on several other restaurant menus. I had breakfast with friends of mine a few days ago and I noticed several other customers ordered a regular breakfast plus on top of it a smoothie. There is nothing wrong with smoothies – I love them a lot and have one at least every day – my point is I guess a lot of people are not aware how many calories they might consume with one smoothie or that in some cases a smoothie is a whole meal.

It’s been a while since I’ve posted a smoothie recipe. Today I was craving something with berries but not summer berries. As we are getting closer to Thanksgiving, many stores sell fresh cranberries so I decided to buy some and tried a few different recipes. This is my final version of a healthy orange cranberry smoothie and it would make a fantastic after-holiday drink in case you’d prefer something lighter.
