Festive Cranberry Smoothie from Vicki Edgson

To celebrate upcoming festive season, we have asked a Nutritionist and Author, Vicki Edgson, to share one of her most delicious festive recipes with Purifyne clients.  
Made out of seasonal fruit and spices, Vicki highlights that the smoothie is high in protein, rich in omega-3, antioxidants and natural anti-inflammatories – “go a long way to combating or neutralising the damaging effects of the Christmas excesses!”

  • 1 cup Cranberries, soaked overnight, rinsed, and simmered for 30 mins with juice of an orange, 2 star anise, and 1 cinnamon stick
  • 120 ml Coconut water
  • 1 tablespoon Oats 
  • 1 tsp Chia seeds 

Preparation:
Place all the strained ingredients from the cranberries into a blender, discarding the spices. Add coconut water, tablespoon oats, and 1 teaspoon of Chia seeds, and blend thoroughly. Leave it to stand until thickened.
You can add to your juices during festive celebrations and enjoy throughout the day.
Merry Christmas!
