I tested this recipe during the cooler months with frozen cherries, stored from the previous cherry season and it was so good! I then waited and waited and waited for cherry season to share it with you. I’m not very good at keeping recipes a secret. It’s a painful process for me. Somehow it didn’t hit me that this cherry smoothie can be made year round since you can use fresh or frozen cherries… Duh. More like D’oh! At least the pictures look nice with the fresh cherries everywhere. If you have an abundance of fresh cherries, consider pitting and freezing them for winter smoothies. I hope you all enjoy this strawberry cherry smoothie recipe!
Ingredients for Strawberry Cherry Smoothies:
1 cup water 1 orange, peeled and separated into wedges 1 banana, peeled and quartered 1 Tbsp chia seeds 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen strawberries, hulled 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen sweet red cherries, pitted Drizzle of honey or agave nectar, to taste, if desired
How To Make Strawberry Cherry Smoothies:
- Combine all of the ingredients in an electric blender. Add ingredients in the order they are listed. As a rule of thumb, you want to add the liquid first and the frozen last and everything else goes in between. Blend until smooth.
- If you like your smoothies a little sweeter, you can drizzle in your favorite sweetener such as honey or agave nectar to taste, then pulse in blender until well incorporated. Enjoy!
Note: Either strawberries or cherries could be frozen. If you like your smoothies chilled, it’s best to have at least one frozen fruit.
