Power Smoothie

Submitted by Natalia 3

"Jump start your day with this super-healthy smoothie! It's filled to the brim with antioxidants, easily digested protein, and "friendly" bacteria from yogurt! Make sure to use 100% (expensive) unsweetened cranberry juice found in the health food aisle. I often make this without protein powder."

Made this pretty much as given, although I did leave out most of the optional items! Also doubled everything so there'd be two smoothies! On change I did make was to use fat-free vanilly yogurt, & i did include one scoop of protein powder! Do love the combo of cranberry & blueberry in this one, & including the almonds was a nice twist! Thanks for sharing! [Made & reviewed in Bargain Basement recipe tag]
