Description

Indulge in a nutrient-dense, vibrant cherry smoothie that perfectly balances the tartness of frozen cherries with the velvety creaminess of ripe bananas and Greek yogurt. This refreshing drink is packed with antioxidants and essential vitamins, making it the perfect healthy breakfast or post-workout recovery snack. With no added processed sweeteners or artificial ingredients, this smooth, chilled treat offers a clean source of sustained energy to power your busy day.


Ingredients

Scale

2 cups frozen cherries (pitless)
1 large ripe banana (sliced and frozen)
0.5 cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt
1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)


Instructions

Place the frozen cherries into the blender pitcher first.
Add the sliced banana pieces on top of the cherries.
Measure the yogurt and place it directly onto the fruit.
Pour in your preferred milk.
Secure the blender lid firmly.
Select the low-speed setting to break down the frozen fruit chunks.
Increase the speed to high once the mixture circulates consistently.
Blend for sixty seconds until the texture is smooth and uniform.

Notes

For an even thicker, ice-cream-like consistency, freeze your banana slices several hours before blending. If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash more milk until you reach your desired texture. Using full-fat Greek yogurt adds extra satiety and creaminess.
