Description

This Easy Cherry Smoothie is a quick, refreshing, and nutritious drink made with cherries, banana, and yogurt. It’s perfect for breakfast, a snack, or post-workout fuel, with optional add-ins to boost protein or flavor.


Ingredients

1 cup frozen cherries

1/2 cup sliced ripe banana

1 cup plain whole milk yogurt (regular or Greek-style)

Optional: 1/2 cup raw cauliflower

Optional: 1 tablespoon peanut butter or almond butter

Optional: 1 tablespoon hemp seeds

Optional: 1/4 cup orange juice

Optional: 1 tablespoon cocoa powder


Instructions

  1. Place all ingredients into the bowl of a blender.
  2. Add any optional ingredients you’d like to include.
  3. Blend until very smooth, starting on low and gradually increasing to high speed.
  4. Serve immediately for the freshest taste.

Notes

  • Use frozen cherries for the best creamy texture.
  • Make it dairy-free by using a non-dairy yogurt alternative.
  • Add nut butter, hemp seeds, or protein powder for extra protein.
  • Best consumed fresh, but can be stored in the fridge for up to 4–6 hours.
