Cherry Smoothie Recipe
Description
The Cherry Smoothie Recipe mixes frozen cherries and banana with yogurt and almond butter, creating a thick and smooth drink blending sweet and tart fruit flavors with creamy textures. The almond butter contributes a mild nutty undertone and additional creaminess, complementing the natural flavors of the fruit.
Blending the ingredients until smooth results in a drink that can be adjusted for consistency by adding water if desired. The optional vanilla extract adds a subtle sweetness and depth. This smoothie is best served cold and can be a quick way to incorporate fruit and protein into your day.
While the recipe does not include storage tips, the use of frozen fruit naturally chills the smoothie, making it refreshing. Fresh cherries can substitute frozen if preferred, though the smoothie will be less cold.
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cherry frozen
- 1 medium banana frozen
- ½ cup yogurt
- 1 tablespoon almond butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla optional
Instructions
- Add the cherries, banana, yogurt, almond butter, and vanilla to your blender.
- Blend on high speed until smooth. If you'd like a thinner smoothie, add a little water and blend again.
- Pour your smoothie into one or two glasses and top with a fresh cherry.
