Queen Anne Cherry Honey Smoothie
This luxurious smoothie blends the delicate sweetness of Queen Anne cherries with golden honey and creamy Greek yogurt for a refreshing, antioxidant-rich breakfast or snack. Its light pink hue and silky texture make it an elegant alternative to standard berry shakes.
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 cups Queen Anne cherries pitted and frozen for best texture
- 1 cup Greek yogurt plain or vanilla
- 0.5 cup almond milk unsweetened, or milk of choice
- 2 tbsp clover honey adjust based on cherry sweetness
- 0.5 tsp pure vanilla extract enhances the cherry flavor
- 1 pinch sea salt to balance the sweetness
- 0.25 tsp almond extract optional, for a professional pastry-like aroma
- 0.5 cup ice cubes only if using fresh cherries instead of frozen
Notes
For a vegan version, substitute the Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt and the honey with agave nectar. If you prefer a thicker 'smoothie bowl' consistency, reduce the almond milk to 1/4 cup. Leftovers can be frozen in popsicle molds for a healthy frozen treat.
