November 22, 2011

Perhaps it's because I live in San Diego, but I drink smoothies year-round, especially pre-workout. With its distinctive tartness, cranberry sauce makes a ho-hum smoothie suddenly sassy. If you want to use whey or soy protein powder, then add the desired amount.

1/4 cup leftover cranberry sauce

1/2 medium banana

1 to 2 teaspoons honey

1/4 cup ice cubes, optional

Place all ingredients in a blender and blend on high for 15 seconds, or until thick and frothy. If you like it thinner, then simply add a bit of water.
