Cherry Smoothie - an easy, flavorful cherry smoothie that is perfect for breakfast on the go or a quick afternoon snack! Add açaí if you want!
Ingredients
1/2frozen banana
2cupsfrozen cherries
1/2cupplain dairy-free yogurt
1teaspoonvanilla extract
1/4 - 1/2cupunsweetened almondmilk
optional 3.5oz packet frozen açaí
Instructions
Add ingredients to a high-powered blender. Blend on high, stopping to scrape down sides as needed, until consistency is smooth.
Add additional almond milk, as needed, a splash at at time if you want your smoothie thinner.
To thicken, add additional frozen cherries or banana.
Notes
Frozen Fruit: you can make this with unfrozen banana and cherries, but I would then recommend adding in a handful of ice cubes so it thickens and is cold enough. That being said, use frozen fruit for best results.
Protein: feel free to make this more of a meal with a serving of your favorite protein powder.
Collagen: I love adding collagen to all of my smoothies and a scoop of collagen works great in this one too!
Smoothie Bowl: Feel free to reduce the amount of almond milk used so the smoothie is much thicker and then you can serve it as a smoothie bowl!
Other add-ins: you can add in fresh spinach, kale, ground flax or chia seeds as well!
