A light, quick, refreshing cherry smoothie. This is a great snack smoothie as it is so low in calories – only 56 cals per serving – so won’t crash a healthy eating plan, plus it hides some greens which are always good for us!
I love that smoothies are so flexible. If I want a quick light snack or a full meal replacement smoothie I can find one, or adjust one, quickly and easily.
Talking of adjusting a smoothie to make it a tasty, filling, meal replacement, it is very easy to do. How? Adding a few oats and almonds or coconut would do the trick nicely.
The recipe is from Tania at Cooktoria. (We have also included links to other tasty smoothies.) Tania says …
The ingredients are simple and they create a wonderful texture and taste. All you need is some frozen cherries, spinach, banana and some milk.
If you don’t have frozen cherries, substitute them with strawberries; it will work just as well. Feel free to add a touch of honey if you like things on the sweet side.
See what I mean about smoothies being flexible, lol!
