Dark Chocolate Cranberry Smoothie.....the often forgotten berry gets remembered

Have you ever accidentally found yourself wandering through Bulk Barn wandering aimlessly into the bulk candy aisle? Did you think that because the dark chocolate cranberries technically at some point in their life used to contain actual fruit that they may be the healthiest option for you? Well if you look at the nutrition information you'll see that's not the case.

You know whats a better option? This recipe. Keep on track to achieve your fitness goals but still get that same tangy flavour of cranberries with the sweet and rich flavour of chocolate. Give this smoothie a try - cranberries often go unmentioned in the berry world, but they add great tangy flavour to sweet dishes and are a shoe-in for smoothie world!
