Ingredients
- 1 cup sweet cherries (pitted, fresh or frozen)
- ⅓ cup milk or water (any kind)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 6 ounces plain greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Flax Seed (no need to use ground – the blender will do that for you)
- 1 large handful ice
- Stevia or honey to taste (depending on sweetness of cherries)
Instructions
- Place cherries through flax in blender and puree until smooth.
- Add ice and blend until frothy. (I find adding the ice last makes it easier to blend.)
- Check for sweetness and add Stevia or honey to taste.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- Excellent source of Calcium, good source of Vitamin C.
