A creamy, tart, and nutty smoothie featuring sweet cherries, almond milk, and tangy yogurt—perfect for breakfast, a snack, or post-workout fuel.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup frozen or fresh pitted cherries
  • 1/2 cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt alternative)
  • 3/4 cup almond milk (or milk of choice)
  • 1 ripe banana (optional, for creaminess and added sweetness)
  • 1/4 tsp almond extract
  • 1–2 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional, to taste)
  • 1/2 cup ice cubes (if using fresh cherries)

Instructions

  1. Add cherries, yogurt, and almond milk to a blender.
  2. Add banana if using for extra creaminess.
  3. Add almond extract and sweetener if desired.
  4. Add ice cubes for a chilled, thicker texture.
  5. Blend on high until smooth and creamy.
  6. Taste and adjust almond extract or sweetener as needed.
  7. Pour into glasses and enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • Use plant-based yogurt and milk for a vegan version.
  • Add rolled oats for extra fiber and a heartier smoothie.
  • Include protein powder or almond butter for added protein and healthy fats.
  • Add spinach for extra nutrients—the cherry color will mask it.
  • Mix in other berries like strawberries or raspberries for a twist.
  • Reduce liquid to turn into a smoothie bowl and top with fresh fruit and granola.
