Wonderful smoothie! I substituted frozen mixed berries for the cranberries, and two 5.3 oz containers of plain Greek yogurt for the plain yogurt. I also used 1 cup pineapple juice (since I used canned pineapple), because my blender can not blend easily without a liquid included, and I left out the ice. This was a very good smoothie. It had a nice flavor AND it was much more attractive than most fruit/vegetable hybrid smoothies. I will definitely make this again. I would have given this 4.5 stars, but since I can't give half stars, I'm rounding up to 5. Thanks for the great recipe! -
My blender wouldn't blend all of this easily, so I added a cup of cranberry juice to the rest of the ingredients, leaving out only the ice cubes! Was surprised at the nice flavor combo of berry, carrot & pineapple! A nice, refreshing drink! [Tagged, made & reviewed in Bargain Basement cooking game]

<p>Born and raised in Michigan but feel like a southern gal at heart. My parents were raised in Tennessee. I love it in the south, except the heat and chiggers. LOL Am married and have one spoiled teenage son and a sweet little shaggy humane society rescue named Scotty. Edit/also a little spitfire Pomeranian named Callie. I have worked retail for all my adult life. Edit/early retirement! I am trying to learn to cook and am addicted to ZAAR. I also love doing genealogy. It is so exciting to find new leaves on the family tree. We were always told our ancestors were English and Scottish, but it seems we have more Irish than anything else. We are fortunate enough to have had a gggggggrandfather that kept a diary. A lot of information from the 1700's in his 100 page diary. We were alway told that my Dad's ggrandmother was an American Indian but can't find anything to verify this. (Although we though some looked native american) It's alway's exciting to find long lost relatives. <br />One of my pet peeves is people that think it's OK to Say what I think without consideration for anyone else's feelings.</p>
