I really appreciated that Selefina provided me with a gift code so that I could choose the spices and seasonings that I wanted and needed. I was intrigued when I saw the Cranberry Juice Powder, especially with Thanksgiving right around the corner.
I had never heard of nor tasted Cranberry Juice Powder before so I was anxious to give it a try. This smoothie is my second experiment with it. I was very pleased with the wonderful tart goodness it gave to the glaze I used on my Sweet Potato and Cranberry Quick Bread so I knew it would be perfect for flavoring this smoothie as well.
I used one teaspoon of the powder in this smoothie which will give me all the health benefits as if I had used cranberry juice or cranberry sauce. This is a wonderful product to have in my spice drawer as I don't always have juice or sauce on hand and I can still get the same taste and effect.

I'm intrigued about that powdered cranberry. I usually just throw some bagels or quick bread or fruit out and it's a DYI breakfast.
