Ingredients
Smoothie Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen, fresh cranberries
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 6 oz vanilla Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup ice
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Place the frozen cranberries, whole milk, vanilla Greek yogurt, sugar, vanilla bean paste (or extract), ground cinnamon, and ice into a blender.
- Blend Smooth: Blend all the ingredients on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, with no chunks remaining.
- Serve Immediately: Pour the smoothie into glasses and enjoy right away for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Use frozen cranberries to help achieve a chilled, thick consistency without needing extra ice.
- Adjust sugar to taste, especially if your yogurt is already sweetened.
- Vanilla bean paste gives a richer vanilla flavor compared to extract, but either option works well.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute milk and yogurt with plant-based alternatives.
