Ingredients:
1 cup fresh cherries, pitted
1/2 cup strawberries, hulled
1/2 cup blueberries
1/2 cup raspberries
1 ripe banana
1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
1/2 cup almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
Ice cubes (optional, for a colder smoothie)
Instructions:
Wash and pit the cherries, hull the strawberries, and rinse all the berries.
In a blender, combine the pitted cherries, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, banana, Greek yogurt, almond milk, and honey or maple syrup if using.
Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick, you can add more almond milk to reach your desired consistency.
Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness if needed by adding more honey or maple syrup.
If you prefer a colder smoothie, you can add a handful of ice cubes to the blender and blend until smooth.
Once blended to your liking, pour the smoothie into glasses and serve immediately.
Optionally, garnish with fresh berries or a cherry on top for a decorative touch.
