Ginger-Cranberry Holiday Smoothie

It was too delicious. I drank it before I snapped a photo. I'll post a picture when I make more.

Yield: 1 serving
Prep time: 2 minutes
Perfect for: holiday parties, events in autumn or winter
Type of event: formal dinner, get-together, lunch (harder to prepare en masse)


Ingredients

  • 1/3 teaspoon ginger powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon molasses
  • 1 1/4 cup frozen cranberries
  • 2 frozen strawberries, medium size (for sweetness and colour)
  • 1 cup almond milk (or regular milk)

To make:

  1. Put fruit in a blender cup (I used a single-serving blender, the Magic Bullet, but you could easily multiply the recipe and use a full-size blender for entertaining).
  2. Add molasses and ginger powder* 
  3. Add almond milk and blend until smooth.
*(it is important not to put the molasses in first if you are using a blender cup like I did, as the molasses will stick to the bottom of the cup and will not mix in. If you put the fruit in first, the molasses will "glue" the ginger powder to the fruit and ensure even blending.
