Ingredients:

1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
2 cups water
1 1/2 cups almond milk (I like the Blue Diamond brand, Original flavor)
1/4 cup cashews (give the raw ones a try)
1/8th Teaspoon Stevia
4 ice cubes

Directions:

Place cranberries and water in a pot and bring to a boil, then reduce the flame and let the berries simmer for 10 minutes. Remove pot from flame. Place berries in the fridge and allow to cool.

Once cool, place berries, cashews, almond milk, Stevia and ice into a Vita-Mix blender and blend until smooth and creamy.
