Cranberry Raspberry Banana Smoothie is a creamy, fruity, and tangy vegan drink with no yogurt, perfect for breakfast or a refreshing snack.
Sweet, delicious, and naturally energizing, it's the perfect sip of fruity, creamy goodness.
Love fruity smoothies? Try my pomegranate smoothie, pineapple raspberry smoothie, or blueberry and raspberry smoothie next.
Cranberry raspberry banana smoothie is one of my favorite ways to enjoy a fruity boost each day - I try to have at least one smoothie daily.
I also love exploring other fruity combinations, like my strawberry pineapple smoothie, peach raspberry smoothie, and blackberry strawberry smoothie, because berry smoothies are always a personal favorite.
This smoothie is wonderfully thick and velvety, with the perfect balance of tart cranberries, sweet banana, and juicy raspberries that makes every sip feel indulgent yet light.
Fresh cranberries can be tricky to find here in my country, so whenever they're in season, I freeze a batch to use all year round in recipes like cranberry orange muffins or cranberry oatmeal cookies. And if you love dried cranberries, don't miss my cranberry sauce.

🍌Ingredients
- Cranberries: I love using frozen cranberries. They're handy and give a nice tangy punch.
- Raspberries: Frozen raspberries work great too, keeping the smoothie fruity and colorful.
- Banana: Make sure your banana is ripe; it makes the smoothie naturally sweet and creamy.
- Sweetener: I used agave, but you can swap in maple syrup or even 1-2 soft dates.
- Plant-based milk: I went with almond milk, but soy, coconut, or oat milk are perfect too.
As always, you can find the full recipe with a list of ingredients with measurements in a printable recipe card at the end of this post.

I love cranberrys. They're are pretty sharpe tasting when fresh but are so delicious when sweetened like how you have done in this recipe. I can't wait to give this a try. I've never had a cranberry smoothie before but I certainly will now.
