Ingredients

  • ½ cup water or milk of choice
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla
  • ¾ cup frozen dark cherries
  • tablespoons sunflower seed butter or pumpkin seed butter
  • 1 tablespoon hemp seeds or chia seeds or protein powder
  • ¼ cup dried white mulberries (optional, but highly recommended)
  • ⅓-1/2 cup ice

Instructions

  • Combine goji berries and 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 ½ 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 ½ a frozen banana, however this is not migraine diet friendly and has a higher sugar content.
