Ingredients
  

For the Smoothie
  • 1 cup frozen sweet cherries can use fresh cherries with added ice

  • ½ cup milk any milk variant, dairy or non-dairy

Equipment

  • Blender

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Start by gathering your blender and adding 1 cup of frozen sweet cherries, 1 cup of vanilla yogurt, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and ½ cup of milk of your choice. Don’t forget to include the zest of one orange for that refreshing citrus punch. Secure the lid tightly on your blender.
  2. Blend the mixture on high speed for about 30 seconds, or until it reaches a creamy, homogeneous consistency. If your Cherry Vanilla Smoothie appears too thick, add milk one tablespoon at a time, blending briefly after each addition until you achieve your desired smoothness.
  3. Once your smoothie is perfectly blended, pour it into a tall glass or your favorite smoothie cup. Consider garnishing with a cherry or an orange slice on the rim for an appealing touch.
