The skinny on cranberries!

Can cranberries help keep you thin?

The answer is yes! Cranberries have large amounts of organic acids that have an emulsifying effect on fat deposits. Nutrition and detox guru, Anne Louise Gittleman, recommends cranberry juice to rid the body of unwanted cellulite.

Check out my healthy dessert recipe below. This sugar free dessert will keep blood sugar stable, fulfill sugar cravings, and ensure you get your daily anti-oxidants.

Cranberry Cherry Pudding

For the Pudding:

1 package of organic frozen cranberries

1 package of organic frozen cherries

4 1/2 teaspoons arrowroot

2 Tablespoons water

10 drops Vanilla Stevia or to taste

1 Tablespoon Vanilla

Cinnamon and Nutmeg

Heat cranberries in saucepan over medium heat. Add cherries and stir. Once the cranberries begin to pop, add Vanilla Stevia, Vanilla, Cinnamon and Nutmeg. Dissolve the arrowroot in 2 Tbs water and stir into pan. Simmer for ten minutes, ensuring most cranberries pop.

Top with whip cream!

*You can use pears or apples in place of cherries too!

I made this recipe for both Thankgiving and Christmas. Everyone loved it! Delicious! ... a comment from sandy , left on on Mar 5th, 2008 at 6:25 pm
