Ingredients
Fruits
- 1/3 cup cranberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1/2 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
Dry Ingredients
- 2 tbsp oats
- pinch pink himalayan salt (optional)
Liquids
- 1 cup non-dairy milk
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
Additional
- ice (to taste)
Instructions
- Add Ingredients to Blender: Pour the non-dairy milk into the blender first, then add the cranberries, blueberries, oats, maple syrup, and a pinch of pink Himalayan salt if using. This layering helps the blender work efficiently and creates a smooth mixture.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend all ingredients until the mixture reaches a smooth, creamy consistency without any large chunks.
- Add Ice to Desired Consistency: Add ice cubes one at a time and blend briefly after each addition until the smoothie reaches your preferred thickness and chill.
- Optional Topping: If you like, top with hemp seeds for an extra boost of protein and nutrients before serving.
Notes
- Use fresh or frozen berries depending on availability; frozen berries will chill the smoothie without needing as much ice.
- Non-dairy milk such as almond, oat, or soy milk can be used based on personal preference.
- Adjust sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup or try honey if not strictly vegan.
- Oats add fiber and help make the smoothie more filling.
- Optional pink Himalayan salt enhances flavor and balances sweetness.
