A quick and easy smoothie combining the tartness of cherries with the creamy richness of avocado, enhanced with vanilla and honey for a healthy, satisfying drink.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (150g) frozen cherries
  • 1/2 medium ripe avocado
  • 1 cup (240ml) unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/2 cup (120g) Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
  • A few ice cubes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Scoop out half a ripe avocado, measure 1 cup (150g) frozen cherries, and prepare 1 cup (240ml) almond milk. Ensure yogurt is at fridge temperature.
  2. Pour almond milk into the blender first to help blades move freely.
  3. Add frozen cherries and avocado to the blender.
  4. Add Greek yogurt and honey or maple syrup to the mixture.
  5. Pour in vanilla extract and optional chia seeds.
  6. Blend starting on low speed, gradually increasing to high, for about 45 seconds to 1 minute until smooth with no chunks.
  7. Taste and adjust texture by adding more almond milk if too thick, or more sweetener if needed, blending briefly again.
  8. Optionally add a few ice cubes and pulse once or twice for extra chill without diluting flavor.
  9. Serve immediately in a glass and enjoy.

Notes

Use ripe avocado for creamy texture. Frozen cherries keep smoothie thick and cold; fresh cherries can be used with added ice cubes. Start blending with liquids at the bottom to avoid chunks. Adjust sweetness to taste. For vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt with plant-based yogurt and honey with maple syrup. Clean blender immediately after use for best results.
