4 Ingredients Cherry Smoothie
A quick and refreshing cherry smoothie made with just four simple ingredients that provides flavor and nutrition in every sip.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1.5 cups frozen dark red pitted cherries These form the base of your smoothie, offering natural sweetness. Fresh cherries can be substituted when available, but you'll need to add ice.
- 1 ripe banana This adds creaminess and natural sweetness; feel free to replace it with avocado for a healthier fat option.
- ¾ cup vanilla Greek yogurt This gives your smoothie its protein and creamy mouthfeel; for a dairy-free version, coconut yogurt works wonderfully.
- 1 cup pomegranate juice (or chilled apple juice) This adds a refreshing sweetness; you can even try orange juice for a citrusy twist.
Instructions
Preparation
- Place the frozen dark red pitted cherries, banana, vanilla Greek yogurt, and either pomegranate or apple juice into a blender.
- Pulse and blend until smooth.
- Pour into a serving glass and enjoy immediately.
Notes
Serve immediately for best taste. Top with chia seeds or fresh cherries. If you have leftovers, store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours, but it might separate. Shake before serving.
