Ingredients

2 cups frozen tart cherries pitted, specifically Montmorency variety if possible
1 cup unsweetened almond milk chilled
0.5 cup Greek yogurt plain or vanilla for extra creaminess
2 tbsp creamy almond butter natural, no added sugar
1 tbsp ground flax seeds for fiber and healthy fats
0.5 tsp pure vanilla extract enhances sweetness
1 tsp honey optional, adjust to taste
0.25 tsp ground cinnamon adds a warm aromatic finish

Notes

For a vegan version, substitute the Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt and use maple syrup instead of honey. To make ahead, blend the ingredients and freeze in ice cube trays; simply re-blend the cubes with a splash of milk when ready to drink. Store leftovers in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 12 hours, though separation may occur.
