Ingredients
  

Liquid Base
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or any milk of choice
Fruit & Flavor
  • 1 cup frozen pitted dark sweet cherries
  • 1/2 medium ripe banana frozen in slices for extra creaminess, optional
  • 2 tbsp almond butter creamy, unsalted
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
Optional Sweetener & Add-ins
  • 1/2 tbsp maple syrup or honey, to taste
  • 1/2 scoop vanilla protein powder optional, for added protein

Equipment

  • High-Speed Blender

Method
 

Combine Ingredients
  1. Add the almond milk, frozen cherries, banana (if using), almond butter, and vanilla extract to a high-speed blender.
  2. If desired, add maple syrup or honey for extra sweetness, and/or protein powder for a boost.
Blend Until Smooth
  1. Secure the lid and blend on high speed until all ingredients are thoroughly combined and the smoothie is completely smooth and creamy. If too thick, add a splash more almond milk; if too thin, add a few ice cubes or a little more frozen banana.
Serve Immediately
  1. Pour the almond cherry smoothie into a glass and serve immediately. Enjoy your refreshing and nutritious drink!

Notes

For an even thicker smoothie, you can add 1/4 cup of rolled oats or chia seeds before blending. If you don't have frozen banana, use a fresh one and add 1/2 cup of ice to achieve a cold, thick consistency. For a richer flavor, you can lightly toast the almond butter before adding it to the blender.
