I do love an extra fruit boost in my smoothies every now and then. I still want it to be healthy but it’s lovely to splurge out occasionally on a predominantly fruity smoothie and not worry about balancing proteins, healthy fats, etc. (All important factors i know, especially for diabetics and anyone wanting to keep blood sugar levels low.)

I know it’s not cranberry season, but freezers are great, aren’t they? And pairing them – cranberries, that is, not freezers, lol! – with ripe pears and dates means sugar is not essential.

That’s what we have today from Lindsey Johnson at CafeJohnsonia, a fruit-rich smoothie recipe. (The details are at the end of the post.) Lindsey agrees and says …

I can’t seem to get enough cranberries! … I really like adding them to my smoothies. They add a great tang. Cranberries are really good for you, and this is a great way to use them without adding sugar. The dates and pears provide natural sweetness to offset any excess tartness. A little is good though.
