This recipe is best prepared in a high-powered blender
such as a Vita-Mix. If a smaller blender is used, we
suggest that the recipe be cut in half for each batch.

Smoothie - Cranberries, Apple, Banana, Orange, Kiwi + Dates

1 cup Cranberries, frozen
2 Kiwi Fruit
2 Apples, large, sweet
4-6 Bananas
2 Navel Oranges
4-6 Dates, pitted
4 tbsp. Flax Seed (optional)
12 oz. Ice

It is also best to refrigerate the fruit several hours before
preparing the fruit smoothie.
To make the smoothie even colder, the banana could be peeled,
cut into pieces and frozen ahead of time.
Several hours before preparing the fruit smoothie, wash and
freeze the cranberries. (We freeze several 8-oz, plastic
containers of cranberries and store them in our freezer for
quick and easy access.)
Thoroughly wash the apples. Cut into quarters. Remove and
discard the core and stem. Place apple sections into the blender.
Thoroughly wash the kiwis and remove and discard the hard ends.
Cut each kiwi into halves and add to the blender container.
Peel the navel oranges and add the sections to the blender.
Add the peeled bananas.
Add the dates and flax seed.
Add the frozen cranberries.
Add the ice.
Cover the blender and run it at "high" until the fruit and ice are
thoroughly blended into the smoothie (about 1-minute).
Serve in a tall glass with a straw, and enjoy.
A fruit smoothie also makes a great breakfast.
