This recipe is a basic that’s refreshing, delicious – and satisfying.
Summer means cherries and summer means smoothies. Ergo, summer means cherry smoothies. I love cherries served in almost every way—fresh, frozen, pie… The frozen sweet cherries available at Costco (much cheaper than anywhere else but not always in stock) make the perfect snack straight from the bag.
But for a substantial snack that really keeps you going between meals, try them in a smoothie.
You can use any type of milk, but I actually prefer the flavor of almond milk in combination with the cherries.
Oh, and I love my Ninja for these smoothies. The 24 oz cup is the perfect size.
