Ingredients
- 1 cup almond milk unsweetened

- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tbsp hemp hearts

Notes
- To lower the natural sugar from the cherries, swap 1 cup of cherries for 1/2 cup of cherries + 1/2 cup of raspberries. This brings the total sugar per serving to 14g and the total carbs to 28g.
- Add 1 cup of leafy greens like spinach or kale to boost fiber and protein in this smoothie recipe.
- Swap unsweetened almond milk for the unsweetened nut/seed milk of your choice.
- Use at least 1 frozen fruit for a refreshingly cool smoothie.
- Make sure you use plain, unsweetened Greek Yogurt with no added sugar. You can also use the unsweetened, dairy-free yogurt of your choice.
