Description
A vibrant and nutrient-dense beverage that perfectly balances the tart sweetness of frozen cherries with the rich, buttery texture of creamy avocado. This smoothie is designed for sustained energy, using healthy monounsaturated fats from the avocado to stabilize blood sugar levels. Ideal as a quick breakfast or a refreshing post-workout snack, this blend delivers antioxidants and deep flavor without any added sugars or additives.
Ingredients
1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
1 cup frozen sweet cherries (pitted)
1 medium frozen ripe banana
1/2 cup plain coconut yogurt
1/2 ripe avocado
Instructions
Pour the unsweetened vanilla almond milk into the blender base.
Add the plain coconut yogurt on top of the liquid.
Place the avocado pieces into the blender.
Add the frozen cherries followed by the sliced frozen banana.
Secure the lid and start the blender on the lowest speed to break up the frozen ingredients.
Increase to high speed and blend for 45 to 60 seconds until perfectly creamy and smooth.
Serve immediately in a chilled glass.
Notes
Substitute plain coconut yogurt with Greek yogurt if you prefer a higher protein content. Ensure your banana is very ripe before freezing, as this provides the natural sweetness for the entire blend. Drink immediately for the best texture, as the avocado can oxidize over time if left sitting.
