Cherry Vanilla Smoothie
Dairy free but super creamy and delicious, this cherry vanilla smoothie will be your new favorite breakfast!
Servings: 1 person
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup water or milk of choice
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 3/4 cup frozen dark cherries
- 1½ tablespoons sunflower seed butter or pumpkin seed butter
- 1 tablespoon hemp seeds or chia seeds or protein powder
- 1/4 cup dried white mulberries (optional, but highly recommended)
- 1/3-1/2 cup ice
Instructions
- Combine mulberries (if using), vanilla, sunflower seed butter, and water. Blend to combine. Add frozen cherries and blend. (If you have a high speed blender like a vitamix, just dump everything in and blend it)
- Add desired amount of ice to thicken. Serve immediately!
Notes
- Milk will yield a creamier smoothie. I like to use oat milk or hemp seed milk.
- Add more ice to thicken the smoothie (or frozen fruit) and more water or milk to thin it. Max out at 1/2 cup of ice or it may water down the smoothie.
- Use seed or rice protein powder or hemp seeds to boost the protein content.
- Mulberries can be substituted for 1/2 a frozen banana, however this is not migraine diet friendly and has a higher sugar content.
- Feel free to add 1 tablespoon of goji berries to the mix!
