The Bordeaux Cherries were supplied as a free sample from Pacific Coast Producers for this recipe.

There is something about the combo of cherries and almonds that makes my taste buds sing! When my friends at Pacific Coast Producers asked if I wanted some cherries to experiment with in the kitchen I immediately knew that I was going to freeze some and blend them into a cold and creamy Cherry Almond Smoothie. Delicious, creamy and sweet…perfect to satisfy a sweet tooth.

Cherry Almond Smoothie Tips

  • This recipe requires a little bit of forethought. The cherries need to be frozen the night before, and so do the bananas.
  • I enjoy making smoothies on a weekly basis, so I typically keep a bag of frozen peeled bananas in the freezer at all times.
  • I tested this recipe with unsweetened oat milk and unsweetened almond milk, and I think it will work with other milk options too.
  • The almond butter I used was the kind without added oils or sweeteners. Just almonds as an ingredient.

Cherry Almond Smoothie Nutrition

  • The Bordeaux cherries are 100% naturally flavored and colored (no artificial food coloring is used).
  • They are so sweet and taste like fresh bing cherries. They are a great addition to anything that calls for a maraschino cherry.
  • The cherries are harvested by family farms in the Pacific Northwest.
  • Cherries are filled with fiber, vitamin C, potassium, and many other nutrients and antioxidants.
  • The Greek yogurt gives this smoothie extra creaminess, a protein boost to help you feel full, and a dose of gut-healthy probiotics.
  • Bananas contain many nutrients too, and may help regulate blood sugar levels because of the type of fiber they contain.
