Notes
*Nutritional information calculated without add-ins. Ingredient Substitutions
Almond milk. use your favorite milk - whole milk, 2%, coconut milk, etc.
Greek yogurt. use your favorite yogurt! I suggest full-fat for the best results. Vanilla or cherry flavored varieties are great choices too.
Frozen cherries. you can use fresh summer cherries that have been frozen (preference), or store-bought frozen cherries. You can also use fresh, unfrozen cherries if that is what you have on hand.
Frozen Banana. Adding frozen banana to smoothies is the best way to sweeten and impart a smooth texture. Using frozen banana instead of ice ensures the flavor isn't watered down.
Vanilla extract. vanilla beans or paste work well too.
Honey. maple syrup is a good substitute for honey.
Store/FreezeYou can store leftover cherry smoothie in a glass jar with a lid for up to 1 day in the refrigerator or 1 month in the freezer. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator.
