NOTES
1. Cherries: Use fresh pitted sweet cherries or canned cherries (no sugar added) when out of season in this recipe.
2. Variations:
- Coconut water: Can also be replaced with coconut milk for a creamy smoothie.
- Extra fiber and vitamins: Put half a banana in the blender. The banana gives extra fiber, creaminess, and sweetness to the smoothie.
- Oat milk: Instead of oat milk, you can also use soy milk, rice milk, or almond milk.
- You could keep this smoothie, but it's better to drink fresh. The creaminess decreases, and the vitamins deteriorate if you leave it longer.
- If you have made too much, freeze it in an ice cube tray and store it in the freezer. You don't even have to let it thaw completely. This smoothie is delicious as a slush.
