This healthy cranberry smoothie is loaded with vitamin C, antioxidants, especially quercetin, and bacteria fighting compounds. Cranberries are rarely eaten raw as they are very tart however the natural sweetness of the orange and the dates make for a delicious smoothie. Beet powder is very high in nitrates which have been shown to increase blood flow, energy and lower blood pressure. I recommend using Medjooll dates if possible in this as they have the most natural sweetness. If you are using Deglet noor dates just add an extra date or too as they are smaller and not usually as sweet.
