Hi Everyone,
I have been on such a smoothie kick lately. I have had one just about everyday! I think it is the nice weather we are finally having that it has given me a little bit of spring fever. Plus having smoothies have tie me over between lunch and dinner. It keeps me from mindless snacking!
A creamy,thick healthy smoothie made with berries, banana and Cranberry Juice.
I teamed up with Ocean Spray on today’s smoothie, and they asked me to make their Diet Mixed Berry Smoothie. So I followed their recipe and whipped this wonderful, creamy, sweet smoothie together in a matter of minutes. I was very excited to try the smoothie, since you already know how much I love Ocean Spray’s Diet Cranberry juice, from my past recipe for my Cranberry Christmas Smoothie.
I always keep a bottle of Ocean Spray Diet Cranberry Juice in my refrigerator. It’s tangy with a hint of sweetness and only 5 calories for 1 cup!! It really quenches my thirst when I want something rather than water. Today’s smoothie is a wonderful blend of Ocean Spray Diet Cranberry Juice, berry greek yogurt, frozen banana and mixed frozen berries. I love it and it was perfect for after my morning workout!!
I asked my Husband to take a taste of the smoothie and he loved it! I had to make him one too! Matter in fact I made a batch of these smoothies and froze them in a freezer bag. I plan on taking them to work and having one as my mid morning snack. This will give me something to look forward too!! Do you ever freeze your smoothies? It’s so easy! Just make the smoothie, place in a freezer bag and freeze. Take it out a couple of hours before you have it and place in the refrigerator In a couple of hours it is just like you just made it!!
I’m looking forward to making more smoothies with my Diet Ocean Spray Cranberry Juice. Do you know they have other flavors besides cranberry? They also have 8 other flavors, plus two sparkling Diet Cranberry Juices. I didn’t know they had sparkling diet, until I just now saw it on their website. Now I’m going to look for those next time I am at the store.
But as I think about it, I’m thinking the Cran-Lemonade will be perfect for summer and perfect for me right now! That one is going on my grocery shopping list too. I love the flavor of lemonade! Yum!!! That will make for an awesome smoothie, plus I have a recipe idea in mind with that one. But you’ll have to wait for that!
- ¾ cups Diet Ocean Spray Cranberry Juice Drink, any flavor
- ¾ cup frozen mixed berries (strawberries, raspberries, blackberries and blueberries)
- 1- 6 oz container greek flavored yogurt
- ½ banana, frozen
- Combine all ingredients in a blender. Blend for a few seconds on high speed until ingredients are thoroughly combined.
I want to thank Ocean Spray for letting me try your smoothie recipe, I simply LOVE it!! Ocean Spray has a lot of great recipes on there website too, you should check them out!! I’m going to scope them all out!!
Have a wonderful day!
Toodles,
Jennifer

I have partnered with Ocean Spray through DailyBuzz to help promote their new Ocean Spray Diet product. I have been compensated for my time commitment to work with this product, however my opinions are entirely my own and I have not been paid to publish positive comments.
Hi there! I love this smoothie idea with the cranberry juice! Lately, my daughter and I have been making smoothies with greek yogurt for a protein boost before our karate classes! You can read about my 10 year Black Belt at my (NEW!) blog! 🙂
Thanks AMy for the invite, I’ll check out your blog. I took love greek yogurt in smoothies!! I’m kind of a greek yogurt fan!! 🙂
I love Ocean Spray’s new Diet line. I tried their cran-pomegranite and it’s delicious! It would be a great addition to a berry smoothie.
I love it too!! I discovered it around Christmas time and I have been hooked!! I love cranberry in smoothies, it adds a nice zip!
I need to start making more smoothies again, I always go through these periods of forgetting about them! This looks great!
I do the same thing. I go in spurts, but I think I do that with everything.
Oh, boy, Jen….just look at that gorgeous color!!! This is my kind of smoothie…full of berry deliciousness!
I just love berry smoothies the best! I look forward to the summer so I can buy my berries in bulk!!
This looks amazing….AND delicious! I love your simple tip of how to freeze extra for later. That is really handy! Saves so much on time. I can’t wait to try the grape smoothie…and switch up later with the rest! Thank you for sharing! (=
I love freezing my smoothies and frappes. I figure if I’m making one, might as well make more for later, that way I won’t have to bring the blender out again. The grape smoothie sounds good!!
I love diet ocean spray! And I love making smoothies with them. Cran-Pomegranate is my favorite flavor 🙂
My mouth is literally watering for one of these smoothies!!
