A refreshing and tangy Cherry Lime Smoothie combining tart frozen cherries, zesty lime, creamy Greek yogurt, and natural sweetness from medjool dates. Perfect for a nutritious breakfast or a revitalizing snack.

Ingredients

Fruits and Flavorings

  • 1 cup frozen cherries (tart preferred)
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 2 large pitted medjool dates

Dairy & Dairy Alternatives

  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • ¼-½ cup dairy free milk (almond milk recommended), plus more as needed

Others

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup ice

Instructions

  1. Soak Dates: Soak the pitted medjool dates in 1 cup of very warm water for at least 5 minutes to soften them for easier blending.
  2. Prepare Ingredients: While the dates soak, measure out and gather all remaining ingredients: frozen cherries, lime zest, lime juice, Greek yogurt, vanilla, dairy free milk, and ice.
  3. Blend Smoothie: Add the softened dates along with their soaking water, frozen cherries, lime zest, lime juice, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, dairy free milk, and ice into a high-powered blender.
  4. Blend Until Smooth: Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick, add more dairy free milk a little at a time until desired consistency is reached.
  5. Serve: Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Soaking the dates helps them blend more smoothly and enhances sweetness.
  • Use tart frozen cherries for a more refreshing and tangy flavor.
  • Adjust the amount of dairy free milk to achieve your desired smoothie thickness.
  • Optional add-ins like chia seeds, protein powder, or spinach can be blended for added nutrition.
  • This smoothie is best consumed fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours with stirring before drinking.
