Helpful Tips
For a vegan-friendly version, use a dairy-free yogurt. If fresh cherries aren’t in season, you can use frozen cherries to achieve the same delightful flavor. To make this recipe nut-free, substitute the almond butter with sunflower seed butter and use another type of milk.
Storage Instructions
This smoothie is best enjoyed fresh. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Shake well before serving again.
Pairings
Pair your Cherry Almond Cheer smoothie with a light salad or a morning pastry for a complete, delightful meal. A warm slice of almond bread or a handful of granola on the side would complement the richness of the smoothie perfectly.
