Cranberry Orange Protein Smoothie

Well it's that time of year again.

The time when all the leaves are falling off of the ten million trees in our

yard.  Okay I may be exaggerating about the number of trees, but we will

be blowing, raking and bagging leaves until April I tell ya.

Leaves are my least favorite thing about Fall.  Give me all the pumpkins,

Starbuck's lattes, apple orchards, boots and sweaters.  But leaf raking - 

no thank you.

After hours of raking leaves this weekend I was ready for a snack, so

I whipped up this smoothie with what fruit I had on hand and dang it

was pretty tasty.  Cranberry orange is a new smoothie combination

for me and I'm looking forward to making another one soon!

Wish me luck on the leaf battle :)
