Expert Tips:

  • This smoothie is dairy-free and vegan adaptable! Substitute the yogurt for a plant-based yogurt.
  • Frozen fruit helps make smoothies cold and thick. For a thicker smoothie, toss in a few ice cubes. For a thinner smoothie, use fresh, tart cherries.
  • Not enough almond flavor? Add a drop or two of almond extract for a rich almond taste in this creamy smoothie.
  • Substitute the almond butter for cashew butter or another nut butter for personal preferences.
  • Pure vanilla extract adds a delicious and light taste to this sweet cherry smoothie! Feel free to use sparingly.

Recipe FAQs

What kind of almond butter works best?

Creamy, unsweetened almond butter works best, but you can use crunchy for added texture.

Can I use another type of milk?

Absolutely. Oat, soy, dairy, coconut — any milk you enjoy will work.

Can I make this smoothie without yogurt?

Yes! You can leave it out or replace it with more almond milk or a banana for creaminess.

Can I add protein powder to this smoothie?
