Besides the gorgeous color, I love this sweet cherry smoothie because it tastes almost like cherry candy, but it's made with wholesome ingredients. Everything is natural, including the color!
Cherries are loaded with nutrients and antioxidants, making them a great addition to your breakfast smoothie. I love to make this recipe during the spring and summer when cherries are in season at the local farmers market.
Ingredient Notes
This easy smoothie recipe uses just a handful of simple ingredients. Here are some recommendations:
- Cherries - You can use fresh or frozen cherries here. Fresh cherries will give you a thinner drink like smoothie, where frozen will give more of a milkshake texture. Whichever you choose, go for sweet cherries not tart pie cherries.
- Nut Butter - I use cashew butter, but any type of nut butter will work here. It's just a little bit to add a little protein and thickness to the smoothie.
- Milk of Choice - I've tried this will unsweetened coconut milk and almond milk and both were great. Use your favorite plant based or dairy milk.

- Freeze the fruit - Freezing your fruit in smaller chunks ahead of time makes sure that you always have a thicker creamier smoothie. It also helps with meal-prep so that's a bonus!
- Milk first - If your blender blades are on the bottom, add the milk to the blender first for easier blending.
