Thankfully walnuts and cranberries are not just for the holidays. I’m so thankful for freezers and foods that keep well which means we can make delicious smoothies any time of the year. This one has healthy fat from the walnuts and Vitamin C from the cranberries, which also help prevent urinary tract infections. And extra creaminess.
The recipe comes from Mel at aVirtualVegan. Note Mel’s advice …
You can usually find frozen cranberries when fresh aren’t available. However, if you use frozen cranberries you might find the smoothie is a little too thick so just add a little extra milk until you get it to the consistency you want.
