The way of making a fruit smoothie with cranberries
Ingredients for the preparation of fruit cocktail. You can substitute lemon and mineral water with lemon or orange juice without sugar.
Cut the core out of a sweet apple, peel it, cut it in small cubes. The peel from the apple can not be removed, but if it is thick, it can ruin the smoothies.
We clean the grapefruit, divide it into segments, cut off a thin white film from them. If you do not remove this film, the drink will be bitter.
Peel a small piece of fresh ginger from the skin, cut it into thin strips, add to the grapefruit and apple. You only need a little ginger for one serving of drink - you will overdo it with the quantity, the cocktail will be sharp and may even taste bitter, therefore two thin plates cut into small pieces are enough.
With my cranberries, add to fruit without defrosting - it will replace ice in the drink.
Squeeze juice from fresh lemon. To prevent lemon bones from getting into the cocktail, filter the juice through a fine sieve.
Add honey. It is very tasty, but at the same time high-calorie sweetener for a cocktail, so remember that everything healthy is good in moderation.

Grind ingredients with a blender to a state of smooth mashed potatoes for about 1 minute.
Fill the cup with a bright drink and serve it immediately to the table, depending on its consistency, with a dessert spoon or straw.
