Helpful Tips

• For a thicker smoothie, use less almond milk or add more frozen cherries.
• Want a protein boost? Add a scoop of your favorite vanilla or chocolate protein powder.
• If fresh cherries are out of season, use a high-quality cherry preserve to mix into the smoothie.

Storage Instructions

If you have leftovers, store the smoothie base in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Add fresh toppings just before serving.

Ingredient Substitutions

• Substitute almond milk with any other plant-based milk such as oat, soy, or coconut milk.
• Use agave syrup or a sugar-free sweetener in place of honey or maple syrup.
• Replace frozen banana with a scoop of greek yogurt for a creamier texture.

Pairings

This Black Forest Smoothie Bowl pairs wonderfully with a fresh cup of green tea or a glass of chilled almond milk. For a fuller breakfast, consider serving it alongside a veggie-packed omelette or fresh avocado toast.
