This Cherry Smoothie is a delicious, thick, healthy smoothie made with fresh cherries and almond milk. To thicken the smoothie, I have added a banana, but it can be skipped and you can use more cherries instead.

Ingredients
- ¾ cup cherries (- 100 grams, fresh and sweet tasting)
- 1 banana (- large)
- ½ cup Almond Milk (or lite coconut milk or water)
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract (- optional)
Method
- Rinse cherries in water first for a couple of times. Then soak cherries in a bowl of water for 15 to 20 minutes in which ½ tablespoon white vinegar or apple cider vinegar is added. This is done to get rid of pesticides.
- Later rinse cherries again a couple of times with fresh water. Drain all the water. Then remove the stems.
- Pit the cherries and discard the seeds. You can chop the cherries roughly if you want. Add the cherries in a blender.
- Add 1 large chopped banana. Pour almond milk. You can also use lite coconut milk or thin coconut milk.
- Add the vanilla extract.
- Blend till fine and smooth.
- Pour in a glass and serve Cherry Smoothie straight away.
