Description
This Cherry Smoothie is made with frozen sweet cherries, banana, Greek yogurt, and a splash of pineapple juice for a fruity, creamy, and refreshing drink. Packed with nutrients and easy to customize, it’s a perfect breakfast smoothie or post-workout treat.
Ingredients
1 cup frozen dark sweet cherries
1 frozen banana
1/2 cup Greek yogurt (whole milk preferred, or any variety)
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
1/4 cup pineapple juice (or more almond milk if needed)
Instructions
Add almond milk and pineapple juice to the base of a high-speed blender.
Add frozen cherries, frozen banana, and Greek yogurt.
Blend on low speed, gradually increasing to high until smooth and creamy.
Pour into a glass and serve immediately. Top with sliced banana or your favorite toppings if desired.
Notes
Frozen banana is key for achieving that creamy smoothie texture.
No ice needed: The frozen fruits will keep it chilled and thick.
Liquid goes first: Always add liquids first to help the blender run smoothly.
Make it dairy-free: Use a dairy-free yogurt like coconut or almond-based varieties.
Sweetness tip: If needed, add a small drizzle of honey or maple syrup.
Customize with add-ins:
Protein powder – for post-workout fuel
Collagen powder – for extra protein
Ground flax seeds or chia seeds – for fiber and omega-3s
Hemp seeds – for added nutrition
Oats – for a more filling, fiber-rich smoothie
