Let’s get this party started, in any case!

How to Make Blood Orange Cranberry Smoothie?

To begin, I’ll state the obvious: first, wash the fresh fruits under cool running water.

To begin, pour the milk into the blender.

When it comes to blood orange juice, you have two options. Before mixing, you can either extract the juice or remove the rind and seeds. Even better, given the majority of blood oranges are seedless, it should be as easy as pie.

Then, on top of the frozen cranberries, add the remaining ingredients—banana, marmalade, cinnamon, and goji berries.

For 45 seconds to 1 minute, or until totally smooth, blend on high for 45 seconds to 1 minute.

Tip and Alternatives

This dish can be made with any type of milk, such as oat milk, soy milk, almond milk, and so on. In fact, you can add a tropical flavor to the blood orange cranberry smoothie by using coconut water.

However, here’s the deal:

Cranberries are only available during specific seasons, so by the time you read this, they may no longer be available.

But don’t worry, there’s some good news to come:

Cranberries are still accessible frozen throughout the year. If that isn’t an option, dried cranberries (also known as craisins) can be substituted.

In this blood orange cranberry smoothie, bananas are used as a sweetener. Because cranberries are sour and tart, this dish relies on natural sweetness from other fruits.

Here are some more details: Alternative sweeteners, such as maple syrup or simple syrup, might be added if it becomes too sour.
