Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup orange juice high pulp, no added sugar
- 1 cup cranberries frozen
- ½ cup pineapple frozen
- ½ cup peaches frozen
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
Garnish
- 1 sprig fresh rosemary
- cranberries sliced
- pineapple sliced
Instructions
- Pour the orange juice into a blender. Add the cranberries, pineapple, peaches and chia seeds.
- Blend until smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed.
- Pour into a glass and garnish with the rosemary sprig, sliced cranberries and pineapple.
Notes
- Lower Sugar: For a less sweet, tarter smoothie, use 1/2 cup orange juice and 1/2 cup water. For a little fizz, stir a splash of sparkling water into the glass after blending.
- Protein Boost: Swap the chia seeds for 2 tablespoons hemp hearts or a serving of homemade protein powder.
- Greens Swap: Add up to 1 cup of leafy greens, like spinach. The cranberries hide its flavor.
- Storing: Best fresh, but it keeps in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours. The chia seeds thicken it as it sits, so shake well and thin with a splash of water or orange juice.
