Fresh Cranberry Apple Smoothie [Bulkbites.com]

• Servings: 1
• Time: 10 minutes

I currently love this season when the leaves at their peak point. It is also that time of the year when I get to gorge on lots of cranberries and winter squash. Interestingly, as a kid I was exposed to lots of cranberry sauce and not on fresh cranberries as a fruit. I have therefore had a dilemma on what to do with these small fruits when they were given to me for the first time. Smoothie was an obvious choice for me. I decided to use fresh cranberries with a small apple to prepare this smoothie. It is a healthy and delicious drink that will be liked by all. It is especially good for bodybuilders as there is plenty of carbs in it.
