Recipe: Delicious Detox Smoothie – Festive Cranberry & Orange

Ingredients (Serves 2-3)

  • ½ cup of unsweetened coconut water
  • ½ – ¾ cup of cold water
  • ½ blender of fresh spinach (about 3 small handfuls)
  • 1 frozen banana
  • ¼ cup of raw cashews
  • ½ cup of fresh cranberries
  • 2 TB of hemp hearts
  • The zest of ½ an orange (lightly zest the skin of about ½ an orange)
  • 1 peeled orange, broken into small pieces (use the orange you zested)
  • 4-5 medjool dates, depending on sweetness preference
  • Sprinkle of cinnamon (optional)

Tips: 

  1. Drink immediately or store in glass jars in the fridge for up to 2 days. When you’re ready to drink it, simply shake up the jar.
  2. If you like your smoothies to be colder, you could:
    1. Chill it in the fridge before drinking; or
    2. Use less medjool dates and add frozen pineapple chunks to taste.
  3. If you’re not into using medjool dates or can’t find them, try using frozen pineapple. It will add a tropical twist to the mix.
  4. Store any leftover smoothie in glass jars in the fridge for up to 2 days. When you’re ready to drink, simply shake it up!
