Ingredients

Cherry smoothie bowl ingredients.

Here is the full list of all ingredients needed for this recipe. For precise measurements please look at the recipe card.

  • Red tart cherries: Rich in nutrients, including fiber, vitamin A, C, K, manganese, potassium, etc. I used frozen cherries for this smoothie recipe.
  • Dark cherries: As red tart cherries, dark cherries are rich in nutrients and antioxidants. Since it’s always easier to have frozen fruit on hand, I used frozen dark cherries.
  • Banana: Adding a little bit of natural sugar. Also, a smoothie will have a nice, creamy consistency.
  • Mango chunks: Another excellent fruit for smoothies. It’s low in calories yet high in nutrients – especially vitamin C, which aids immunity and iron absorption.
  • Milk: Since I am not following any specific diet, I used whole milk. Usually, that’s what I have on hand, but you can substitute it for any other milk you prefer.
  • Maple syrup: This is an optional ingredient. I like this smoothie with or without maple syrup, depending on if I would like it sweeter or not.

Instructions

With a handful of ingredients and a few simple steps, you will have a healthy and delicious breakfast.

  1. In a blender, put all ingredients together.
  2. Blend until smooth.
  3. Spoon into a bowl and add your favorite toppings.

That’s it! It’s as simple as that! 🙂

This smoothie will have a very thick consistency. If you prefer a thinner consistency, you can always add more liquid.

Expert Tips and Tricks

  • Use a high-powered blender: Since we primarily use frozen fruit for this recipe, I recommend a high-powered blender for more effortless blending.
  • Prepare toppings in advance: If you would like to add some toppings to your smoothie bowl, please prepare those in advance so your smoothie does not melt.
  • Don’t over-blend: The key is to avoid over-blending the ingredients when making a smoothie bowl. Otherwise, this will make a watery and thin smoothie.

Substitutions and Variations

  • Make it vegan: Use the dairy-free milk of your choice. Some great options are oat milk and soy milk.
  • Use a sweetener: If you prefer to add sweetness to your smoothie, add some maple or agave syrup.
  • Use different fruit: I used the sweet and tart cherries combo, but you can adjust the ratio if you want. You can also swap some cherries for other fruit like plums or apricots.
  • Adjust the liquid amount: This smoothie will be thick, so if you prefer a thinner smoothie and serve it in a glass instead, add more liquid. Add ¼ of the cup of liquid and see what consistency works best for you.
  • Make it more nutritious: Add some hemp or chia seeds for a more filling smoothie bow.

Storage

I recommend eating this smoothie bowl right away. If you want to avoid leftovers, half the recipe so you have only one portion.
