Fresh Homemade Smoothie

To say that I LOVE Cherries is an understatement.  I could eat my weight in cherries!  In fact, at this very moment while writing this recipe post I am eating about a pound of fresh cherries.  So I don’t usually have too many leftover cherries.  But when I do, this Very Cherry Smoothie is one of the ways that I use them before they start to go bad.

This is a simple smoothie recipe and is even easier if you have a cherry/olive pitter.  I talked myself out of buying one of these handy little kitchen gadgets for years.  Now that I own one I wish I had purchased it sooner … Maybe before I made my Black Forest Cream Pie!  Here is the Cherry/Olive Pitter that I use if you are interested. {referral link}

Very Cherry Smoothie

Yield: 4
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 10 minutes

This Very Cherry Smoothie is exploding with cherry flavor!  There are no other fruits or vegetables in this smoothie.  Just delicious ripe cherries, pure and simple.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Fresh Cherries, pitted
  • 1 cup Plain Greek Yogurt*
  • 2-3 Tb Ultrafine Sugar, optional
  • 1 Tb Vanilla Paste
  • 1 cup Coconut Milk **, plain or vanilla

Instructions

  1. Clean cherries and remove the pits.
  2. Puree in a blender or processor until cherries become liquid.
  3. Add the remaining ingredients and blend until fully incorporated and smooth.

Notes

*I used Chobani Non-Fat Plain Greek Yogurt, but Vanilla or Black Cherry are great too!
**I have made this smoothie with Dark Chocolate Almond Milk instead of coconut milk. It makes a wonderful chocolate cherry flavor but the color of the smoothie is not pretty!
This recipe yields 2-3 servings.

      Hi Monica! I’m sure the stevia will work perfectly. If you get a sweet batch of ripe cherries you can probably go without any sweetener at all. Enjoy!

      Thanks Julie! I have no self control when it comes to cherries. I could just sit and eat pounds of them all evening long … and end up with a tummy ache! Have a fantastic weekend!
