Servings: 1 smoothie
Equipment
- Blender
Ingredients
- ⅔ cup Cherries frozen
- ⅔ cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
- 1 cup Ice
- Stevia to taste or sweetener of choice
Instructions
- Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.

Notes
- Make Smoothie Packs: Add cherries and stevia to a zip bag and freeze for up to 3 months. When you're ready, just dump the bag into the blender, add the yogurt and liquid, and blend. Breakfast in under two minutes.
- Taste Before You Sweeten: Ripe, in-season cherries can be sweet enough on their own. Blend first, taste, then add stevia only if you need it.
- Adjust the Consistency: Too thick? Add a splash of liquid and blend again. Too thin? Toss in a few ice cubes. Easy fix either way.
