Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 cup (240 ml) unsweetened vanilla almond milk*
- 1 cup (140 g) frozen sweet cherries
- 1 medium-size (100 g) ripe banana, frozen
- 1/2 cup (110 g) plain coconut yogurt**
- 1/2 ripe avocado (~50 g)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Place all ingredients—unsweetened vanilla almond milk, frozen sweet cherries, frozen ripe banana, plain coconut yogurt, and ripe avocado—into a standard blender in the order listed to ensure smooth blending.
- Blend: Process the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy, making sure all chunks are fully blended.
- Serve: Pour the smoothie into a glass, optionally add your preferred toppings such as fresh fruit or nuts, and enjoy immediately for maximum freshness and flavor.
Notes
- Replace unsweetened vanilla almond milk with another non-dairy milk alternative such as soy, oat, or rice milk to make the smoothie nut-free.
- You can use any plain yogurt you have on hand, including dairy yogurt if vegan is not a requirement, though plain yogurt is recommended over flavored versions to keep the taste balanced.
