Sweet & Tangy Cherry Banana Smoothie
Nutrient-Packed Cherry Banana Smoothie Recipe Using Frozen Fruits
A delicious smoothie made with frozen bananas and cherries! Packed with nutrients and bursting with flavor, it’s a perfect healthy treat.
Ingredients- 1 frozen banana (large size)
- 150g frozen cherries (pitted ones are convenient)
- 4 Tbsp plain yogurt (adjust to taste)
- 120ml milk (or almond milk, oat milk, etc.)
- 1 Tbsp honey (adjust to taste, add more if sweetness is desired)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare all the ingredients for your smoothie today. It’s helpful to peel, slice, and freeze ripe bananas beforehand to achieve a perfectly chilled smoothie consistency.
Step 2
Take out 1 frozen banana that was prepared earlier. If you slice it too small, it might be difficult to blend later, so slice it into appropriate sizes before freezing.
Step 3
I’m using a store-bought frozen cherry product. Using pitted cherries makes the process even easier. If using fresh cherries, be sure to remove the pits before proceeding.
Step 4
Place the prepared frozen cherries and frozen banana into a deep blender cup or bowl.
Step 5
Now it’s time to add the flavor enhancers. Drizzle 0.5 Tbsp of honey and 2 Tbsp of plain yogurt over each the banana and cherries separately. The yogurt will help make the smoothie extra smooth and creamy.
Step 6
Pour in 120ml of milk. You can adjust the amount of milk based on the quantity of fruit you’re using or your desired smoothie thickness. If it’s too thick, add a little more milk; if it’s too thin, you can add more frozen fruit.
Step 7
Using an immersion blender or a regular blender, blend the banana until it’s completely smooth. Ensure there are no lumps for a velvety texture.
Step 8
Next, blend the cherries to create a smooth cherry smoothie. Blend thoroughly until no chunks remain. The beautiful color of the cherries will infuse the smoothie.
Step 9
In a clear glass, pour about half of the cherry smoothie first, then carefully fill the rest with the banana smoothie. This layering technique creates a visually appealing gradient effect. Your nutrient-rich frozen fruit smoothie is ready – it looks beautiful and tastes absolutely delicious! Enjoy.
