Ingredients

  • 1 cup sweet cherries pitted, fresh or frozen
  • ⅓ cup milk or water any kind
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 6 ounces plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon flax seed no need to use ground - the blender will do that for you
  • 1 large handful ice
  • Stevia or honey to taste depending on sweetness of cherries

Instructions

  • Place cherries through flax in blender and puree until smooth.
  • Add ice and blend until frothy. (I find adding the ice last makes it easier to blend.)
  • Check for sweetness and add Stevia or honey to taste.

Notes

Excellent source of Calcium, good source of Vitamin C.
