Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 cups cherries, frozen
  • 1/2 cup raw cashews
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1/4-1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 1/2 cup dairy-free or plain yogurt
  • 1 cup dairy free or whole milk

Method
 

  1. Pit 1.5 cups of cherries.
  2. Place the cherries in the freezer for at least 2 hours. We prefer to use frozen fruit in our smoothies. It keeps the smoothies cool and fresh. (Use store-bought frozen cherries if you do not have fresh.)
  3. Add all the ingredients in the blender.
  4. Blend until smooth.
  5. Enjoy!
