the perfect quick and healthy cherry almond smoothie

I must tell you that I am actually not a fan of drinking my food. Instead, I like to eat my fruits and vegetables and enjoy them to the fullest. But in my current Pregnancy I was craving a cold Smoothie.

Before I created this smoothie, I knew I wanted cherries. As it is currently January, it’s not the time for cherries. I would have to wait for another 6 months if I wanted fresh ones. But cherries weren't the only thing I was craving, if not something sour. Okay there's one thing about me you need to know. I love everything that is SOUR and so does my daughter. Lemon, Passion fruit, kiwi and the list goes on.

Let combine these two cravings and use sour cherries. The best thing you can do if you are craving something off season, buy them frozen. They still contain enough vitamins, because they got frozen right after harvesting. Make sure you buy organic, not processed, frozen fruits. Let's get back to the sour craving, what better fruit to use if you're craving something sour, than raspberries. Sometimes I like to have frozen raspberries as a Snack. So yummy.

For my smoothies I like my fruits to be frozen. The texture is just creamier without adding any cream. I like to use plant-based milk. We can say my smoothies are always vegan. Almond Milk is used in this recipe because I wanted the smoothie to have a nut flavor, but the flavor should not dominate the smoothie. To sweeten it up I added a Spoon organic vanilla flavor. I always like to add nuts or oats, so I'm full for a good amount of time.
Blend it all together for about 2 minutes and now you have your creamy, vegan, red, delicious breakfast.
