Surprisingly much more delicious than it sounds, this Cranberry Kale Smoothie is great for breakfast or snack.
Instead of making resolutions (I don’t usually make any), I have a list of what I’m looking forward to in the coming year. Last year has been a busy year for me and I haven’t been regular on Veganlovlie. This year, I’m looking forward to…
- firstly, getting organized, and donating things we don’t need, clearing the space really.
- learning more about photography and food styling.
- working more on my handmade jewellery project.
- incorporating more yoga in my routine and hitting the gym more often.
- cycling around the neighborhood more often.
- …and posting new varied content on Veganlovlie (stay tuned).
Happy 2012!
Now to kick start that New Year, here’s a smoothie that is surprisingly much more delicious than it sounds! Definitely going to be a regular one.
A great way to make use of all the cranberries too, that are now reduced in most stores.

This is just the inspiration I need! I keep toying with the idea of adding more green smoothies into my daily diet, but can never commit. This sounds tasty enough that it wouldn’t be such a challenge. 🙂
Mmm, that does look good! And a great way to keep smoothies seasonal, too.
I am obsessed with using Kale in as many ways as I can this year so I will definitely be using this recipe. Thanks!
