Cherry Garcia Smoothie

This smoothie comes together in just 5 minutes. Made with frozen tart cherries which are high in quercetin (anthistamine and antioxidant properties), rich in polyphenols which act as prebiotics that stimulate the growth of healthy gut bugs, vitamin C, and help fight inflammation. Don’t forget to top it with probiotic coconut yogurt and mini dark chocolate chips!

 

TIPS & TRICKS

 

1. Opt for pure vanilla powder in place of vanilla extract for an alcohol-free substitute. 

 

2. Use a frozen banana and less almond milk for a thicker texture.
