Warm Vanilla Cranberry Smoothie

These snowy November days have reminded me that winter will inevitably return once again! While smoothies are an easy way to get some quick nutrition when you're on the go, drinking something cold on a chilly day may not be very appealing. This smoothie is low is sugar, made with warming ingredients (hello vanilla and cinnamon!) and is actually drunken warm! It's like a warm hug on a cold day! 

Ingredients:

1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries (thawed)
2 tbsp coconut butter
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
1/2 cup Organic cream (hot)

Directions:

Heat cream in small saucepan or in microwave. Add all ingredients to blender blend to desired consistency. Enjoy!

​Note: Some blenders recommend not blending hot liquids. If this is the case, blend all the ingredients first and then heat in saucepan or in microwave to desired temperature.

*To make this dairy-free, substitute the cream with your preferred nut milk, oat milk etc. 

Additional Options: Try a tsp of vanilla, a sprinkle of nutmeg or ginger, or top it off with some coconut whipped cream for a real treat!
