If there were a perfect couple in the culinary world, it would be Cherries and Almonds. Not only do they complement each others flavor profiles, but they are the dynamic duo that can keep you forever youthful! Cherries are super high in antioxidants, in particular, anthocyanins, which prevent disease-causing free radical damage and slow down aging – everything from keeping wrinkles off your face to age-related memory decline. Almonds are loaded in vitamin e, helping to moisturize and protect your skin from the inside out. Plus, the addition of the Vega One adds even MORE plant-based, antioxidant goodness!
Ingredients:
- 2 cups almond milk
- 1 cup cherries, stems and pits removed
- 1/4 cup raw almonds
- 1 scoop Vega One in French Vanilla
- 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
- 1/3 cup ice
Directions:
- add all ingredients into a high speed blender and blend until smooth.
Enjoy!
I LOVE this smoothie! Fresh cherries are out of season right now, so I have been using organic frozen cherries. This makes 2 large servings, but I suck it all down hoping no one else in my family heard the blender!! Thanks Peggy, I am enjoying many of your recipes.
So happy to hear!
