Have you seen those ads that say something like 'Dogs are not just for Christmas, Dogs are for life'? In other words they require you take care of them every day.
Well, take care of your body every day, too – and this orange and cranberry smoothie will help you do it! They are great for you all year round. And when fresh cranberries are not available use frozen, or sub cranberry juice.

Cranberries are great for liver detoxing ...
If you’re a green smoothie newbie, try just one small handful of spinach – it’s very mild, I promise! You can’t taste the spinach.
For the more adventurous, try baby kale ...
