SPICED CRANBERRY SMOOTHIE

A fresh, healthy and festive smoothie with cranberries, chia seeds and spice. A naturally vegan and banana-free recipe! Prep time: 5 minutes. Total time: 5 minutes. Serves 2

INGREDIENTS

110 g / 1 cup cranberries, fresh or frozen

300 ml / 1 ¼ cup unsweetened dairy-free milk

1 heaped tablespoon chia seeds

1 tsp coconut oil, solid – unmelted*

½ tsp ground cinnamon

½ tsp ground mixed spice (or pumpkin pie spice mix)

optional 1 tsp vanilla extract

2 dates OR 1 tbsp maple syrup

INSTRUCTIONS

Simply blend all the ingredients together, adjusting the sweetness if needed. The longer the smoothie sits for, the more it will thicken.

NOTES

I know coconut oil seems like a weird ingredient in a smoothie, but it gives such a wonderful texture and taste! Really makes it taste like a cranberry muffin in smoothie form. Leave out if you prefer.
