Tart, sweet, refreshing and oh so delicious for my breakfast this morning. I subbed out the water for some fresh orange juice and used the ice cubes. Very tangy but delicious and helped get me going on a busy morning. Thanks for sharing this recipe in the Potluck Tag game.

Doubled the recipe for myself & my other half & that worked out just fine! Also used frozen cranberries & left out the ice, so the flavors were a bit more intense, giving us a WONDERFULLY SATISFYING SMOOTHIE, & a recipe that's a keeper!

Tart. . YES! I added 2 small packets of Splenda which was perfect for my liking. My cranberries were frozen which worked well (but didn't look quite as pretty for the picture due to the frost). A refreshing wake-me-up this morning! I truly like the combo of cranberries and oranges. Next time perhaps I will add a little fresh grated ginger. . .hmmmm.

I made two of these delicious smoothies for us with orange juice, also frozen cranberries and Splenda sugar like in the other reviews, and we enjoyed them to start with a good morning breakfast. Thanks for the recipe. It was tagged for THINK PINK RECIPE TAG EVENT - October 2011.
