Instructions

• Start by collecting all the ingredients listed above. This will make the blending process quick and efficient.
• Place 1 cup of baby spinach in your blender first. This allows the greens to break down more easily and ensures a smoother smoothie.
• Add the scant 1/2 cup of frozen cherries and scant 1/2 cup of frozen blueberries on top of the spinach. The frozen fruits will lend a nice chill to your smoothie.
• Break the 1/2 banana into smaller pieces and add it to the blender. The banana adds natural sweetness and creaminess.
• Spoon in the 1/4 cup of nonfat Greek yogurt. This ingredient is key for a protein boost and a creamy consistency.
• Depending on your desired thickness, pour in 1/2 to 3/4 cup of unsweetened vanilla almond milk. Start with less and add more if needed.
• Spoon in 1 tablespoon of almond butter. This nutty flavor will enhance the overall taste of your smoothie.
• Secure the blender lid and blend the mixture on high until everything is smooth and creamy. This usually takes about 30-60 seconds.
• Once blended, taste your smoothie. If you prefer it sweeter, consider adding a touch of honey or maple syrup. Blend again if necessary.
• Pour the smoothie into a glass or mason jar, and enjoy your Cherry Almond Green Smoothie right away for the best flavor and texture.
