Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 cups Black Pearl cherries pitted and frozen
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt plain or vanilla
- 1 tbsp almond butter creamy style
- 1 tbsp chia seeds for added fiber and thickness
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract enhances the cherry flavor
- 1 tsp honey optional, to taste
- 1/2 cup ice cubes optional for extra frostiness
Notes
To pit cherries quickly, use a dedicated cherry pitter or a metal straw. For a vegan version, swap the Greek yogurt for coconut yogurt and use agave instead of honey. This smoothie can be prepped as a 'smoothie pack' by freezing all dry and fruit ingredients in a silicone bag for up to 3 months.
