Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 cups Black Tartarian cherries frozen, pitted
- 1 cup Greek yogurt plain or vanilla
- 1 cup almond milk unsweetened
- 1 tbsp chia seeds for added fiber
- 1 tsp honey optional, adjust to taste
- 0.5 tsp pure vanilla extract enhances cherry flavor
- 0.25 tsp almond extract adds a subtle nutty aroma
- 1 cup ice cubes optional for thicker consistency
Notes
Store any leftovers in an airtight jar in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours; shake well before drinking as separation is natural. For a vegan version, substitute the Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt and the honey with maple syrup. If you use fresh cherries instead of frozen, increase ice by one cup to maintain the thick consistency.
