A light and tasty sweet cherry and coconut smoothie for ONLY 125 calories. At that rate you could be greedy, drink the whole lot yourself and still not undo the diet, lol! No, scratch that, you wouldn’t undo the healthy eating weight loss program!
The recipe is from Jane Saunders at LittleSugarSnaps and you’ll find the details over the page. Jane hates bananas with a passion so her smoothies are always banana-less. Of her cherry smoothie, Jane says …
I’ve added an extra dimension to this smoothie by splashing a little vanilla and cinnamon into the mix. Although these flavours are very subtle, they really turn the [smoothie] into a well-rounded glass full of goodness. It all just sits together looking colourful and smug … until I come along with a straw and 20 seconds later it’s all gone. ?
Yes. I do adore cherries …

Recipe: Sweet Cherry Coconut Smoothie for 125 Calories
Cherries are good for you, Jane says …
Of course, cherries are not only charming on the palate. They are also amazingly good for you too. There’s actually a large bunch of health benefits that this humble fruit can boast about. However, my favourite justification for cramming myself full of cherries all summer long has to be that they are brilliant for your memory.
I’m a walking cliché in that I used to be a well-ordered, organised, punctual person. Then I had kids and 9 years later I’m always on the verge of being late, disorganised and just plain forgetful. Hand me those cherries.
