Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1.5 cup Santina cherries pitted and frozen
- 1 cup freshly squeezed orange juice about 2-3 Navel oranges
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt plain or vanilla
- 1 tsp orange zest freshly grated
- 0.5 tsp vanilla extract pure extract preferred
- 1 tbsp honey optional, adjust to taste
- 0.5 cup ice cubes optional for thicker consistency
- 1 tbsp hemp seeds for added protein and healthy fats
Notes
To make this vegan, substitute the Greek yogurt with coconut or almond yogurt and use maple syrup instead of honey. This smoothie is best enjoyed immediately but can be stored in an airtight thermos for up to 4 hours. If using fresh cherries instead of frozen, increase the ice to 1 full cup to maintain the thick texture.
