Top tips for cherry smoothie

  1. At least one fruit should be frozen to get right consistency smoothie which is thick and pourable. Pit cherries and freeze it. Banana don’t have to be frozen.
  2. Use frozen cherries and frozen banana to make super thick smoothie.

  4. Right amount of liquid is important to get thick pourable consistency. Fruit juices, milk is best liquid component. Pineapple juice, apple juice, white grape juice, cranberry juice or milk can be used.

FAQS

Smoothie is watery?

Amount of liquid used in making smoothie will determine the consistency of it. Do not increase juice more than mentioned amounts.

What can I substitute for vanilla Greek yogurt?

Vanilla Greek yogurt can be substituted with plain Greek yogurt and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 to 2 teaspoon honey (depending on preferred sweetness).

Can I use frozen banana?

Yes you can, but with frozen cherries and frozen banana the smoothie consistency will be very thick. You might want to adjust the amount of liquids to make thick pourable smoothie. Increase liquid (pomegranate juice) from 1 cup to 1 ¼ or 1 ½ cups depending on how thick smoothie you like.

Don’t have frozen cherries? Here’s a hack

You have fresh cherries and you forget to pit and freeze it? No worries. Simply use fresh cherries, pit it and use it directly to make smoothie with handful of ice cubes to make it thick, frosty texture.

Can I make it vegan?

Yes you can. Substitute Greek yogurt with nut based milk like chilled almond milk or oats milk.

Possible variations

Add one or more of below mentioned ingredients to make different types of cherry smoothie-
Spinach or kale
Mango
Blueberry
Strawberry
Pineapple
Peach
Flax seeds
Chia seeds
Protein powder

Can cherry smoothie be made ahead and stored?

I wouldn’t recommend you to make ahead and store. It only takes 5 minutes in the blender to have this smoothie ready to drink.
As smoothie rests it starts separating and float to the top leaving down the juice sink down the glass. Also storing smoothie for a day or two in the fridge will tend to change the color of smoothie. Bright pink or red color will turn pale and loose it freshness.
Always make it and serve immediately.

My food philosophy is simple, fresh and full of flavors! I love ‘spicy’ food. In fact so much so that I can skip dessert for extra spicy savory food!
