[What is cranberry]
Cranberries are a group of evergreen dwarf shrubs or trailing vines in the subgenus Oxycoccus of the genus Vaccinium. In Britain, cranberry may refer to the native species Vaccinium oxycoccos,while in North America, cranberry may refer to Vaccinium macrocarpon. Vaccinium oxycoccos is cultivated in central and northern Europe, while Vaccinium macrocarpon is cultivated throughout the northern United States, Canada and Chile. In some methods of classification, Oxycoccus is regarded as a genus in its own right.They can be found in acidic bogs throughout the cooler regions of the northern hemisphere.

Cranberries are low, creeping shrubs or vines up to 2 metres long and 5 to 20 centimetres in height; they have slender, wiry stems that are not thickly woody and have small evergreen leaves. The flowers are dark pink, with very distinct reflexed petals, leaving the style and stamens fully exposed and pointing forward. They are pollinated by bees. The fruit is a berry that is larger than the leaves of the plant; it is initially light green, turning red when ripe. It is edible, with an acidic taste that can overwhelm its sweetness.

Cranberries are a major commercial crop in certain American states and Canadian provinces. Most cranberries are processed into products such as juice, sauce, jam, and sweetened dried cranberries, with the remainder sold fresh to consumers. Cranberry sauce is a traditional accompaniment to turkey at Christmas dinner in the United Kingdom and Thanksgiving dinners in the United States and Canada.

By now, most of you are on board with making delicious green power smoothies, but… this video is for those of you who still scrunch up your nose when we mention adding fresh leafy greens to your smoothies!!

This video is to show you how easy it is, and if you haven’t already tried it to hopefully inspire you to give it a go.
We promise that you will be surprised at how easy and delicious they are, and you too will be hooked!

So why do we add leafy greens to our smoothies?

Leafy greens are nutritional powerhouses and are the No 1 food you can eat regularly to improve your health.

Adding leafy greens to your daily smoothie is one of the easiest and fastest ways to increase your daily intake of leafy greens, which will alkalise your body and give you loads of extra vitamins, minerals and green goodness!
Low in calories, low in fat, high in protein per calorie, high in dietary fibre, and packed with nutrients, leafy greens are a great source of calcium, iron, manganese, magnesium, pantothenic acid, phosphorus, potassium, riboflavin, thiamin, vitamin A, vitamin B6, vitamin C, and zinc. Leafy greens are also high in chlorophyl which is the living energy from the sun, and allows plants to absorb energy from light.

You can imagine how much more energised you will feel when you are getting this goodness straight into your body in an easily digestible liquid form like your Green Power Smoothie!

Click below to watch the video demo of how we make our green smoothies and a few tips on how to make your first Green Smoothie:

Raw Protein by Garden of Life
[This is a new one that we have just started trying - it is amazing because it is a raw, vegan protein made not only out of organic wholegrain sprouted brown rice, but also: Organic Amaranth Sprout, Organic Quinoa Sprout, Organice Millet Sprout, Organic Buckwheat Sprout, Organic Garbanzo Bean Sprout, Organic Lentil Sprout, Organic Adzuki Bean Sprout, Organic Flaxseed Sprout, Organic Sunflower Seed Sprout, Organic Pumpkin Seed Sprout, Organic Chia Seed Sprout, Organic Sesame Seed Sprout. AND it also contains a Raw Probriotic and Enzyme Blend, Bioactive Glycoproteins, Bioactive Lipoproteins, Bioactive Enzymes, Glucomannan, SOD, Glutathione, Bioactive Trace Minerals, Glutamine and CoQ10.] PHEW! Waaayyy too many ingredients to list in the video!!!

But you can also use any of your usual Protein Powder.

Other ones that we use are a good quality Whey Protein, like Glycowhey from Syntec.

Or a Whole Grain Sprouted Brown Rice Protein. We started with SunWarrior, then Ezy Protein, then Eden Health Foods- There are now tons of different brands out there, and they all are [and taste] pretty much identical.

For those of you who think that you are too busy to make a power smoothie in the morning, it literally only takes a few minutes.

While you have the blender going, you can pack everything away and re-fill your ice tray, and when it’s done simply pour it into a shaker / glass jar ready to take with you, rinse your blender and you’re done!

Make sure you drink your green smoothie straight away, as if you let it sit for a while, it tends to separate.

So if you do take it with you to drink in the car on your way to work, don’t forget to drink it up fast!

Kids love green smoothies too, and they are a great way to sneak in some extra goodness to their diet. Get the whole family on board, and give it a try! Once you start experimenting you will be amazed at what you can sneak in and barely taste it.

So have some fun and get experimenting and let us know how you go!
