Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1/2 frozen banana
- 1 cup frozen cherries (pitted)
- 2/3 cup Plain Skyr or Greek yogurt
- 3 tbsp rolled oats
- 1 1/2 tbsp almond butter
- 1 tsp maple syrup or honey
- 1/4 tsp almond extract
- pinch cinnamon
- pinch salt
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients to high-powdered blender. Blend until smooth and enjoy!If the smoothie is too thick, add 1/4 cup more almond milk and blend again.
Notes
- I think the best substitute for almond butter would be cashew butter as it will give a similar flavour.
- I use almond milk in this smoothie but you can substitute with regular milk if you prefer.
- Add a scoop of vanilla protein powder to up the protein content to the next level!
- Make this into a chocolate cherry smoothie by adding 1 tbsp of cocoa or cacao powder.
- Add-in a tablespoon of ground flaxseed, chia seeds or hemp seeds for an extra dose of fiber and healthy fats.
