Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1.5 cup Chelan cherries pitted and frozen
- 1 large Banana frozen and sliced
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt plain or vanilla
- 1 tbsp Chia seeds for added fiber
- 0.25 tsp Almond extract to enhance the cherry flavor
- 1 tsp Honey optional, adjust based on fruit sweetness
Notes
For a thicker 'smoothie bowl' consistency, reduce the almond milk to 1/2 cup. You can store leftovers in an airtight jar in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, though some separation may occur—simply shake well before drinking. If you don't have almond extract, vanilla extract is a great substitute.
