Don’t worry. If you’re worried it’s going to be too tart, you can always add a bit of vanilla extract and raw organic honey to your pineapple cranberry smoothie. The smoothie is still super good for you and a better option than that drive-thru smoothie you’re thinking of grabbing on the way to work.

    What a delicious combination of ingredients for a really tasty smoothie. I do like smoothies that are less sweet and the tangy flavour of this sounds perfect.

    I love the pink hue that the cranberry juice adds to this lively smoothie. I can imagine that the pineapple would add a lot of natural sweetness to the tart cranberry. Delightful!

    Have you tried this recipe using unsweetened cranberries versus cranberry juice and/or cranberry juice and pineapple juice?
