Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen pitted cherries
- 1 medium apple (preferably sweet varieties like Fuji or Honeycrisp)
- 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cup orange juice
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional, for additional sweetness)
- 4 pieces ice cubes
Instructions
Wash the apple thoroughly and cut it into small chunks, removing the core and seeds. There's no need to peel the apple unless you prefer a smoother texture.
Add the frozen cherries, apple chunks, plain Greek yogurt, and orange juice to a blender.
If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, drizzle in the honey.
Add the ice cubes for a cold and frothy texture.
Blend the mixture on high speed for about 1-2 minutes, or until smooth and creamy.
Check the consistency and flavor. If it's too thick, add a splash of extra orange juice and blend again. Adjust sweetness as needed.
Pour the Cherry Apple Smoothie into two serving glasses and enjoy immediately.
