FAQ's
Absolutely, fresh cherries work just fine, but you may want to add a few ice cubes to get that thick, cold smoothie texture.
Peanut butter or cashew butter are both great swaps and will still give the smoothie a creamy, rich texture.
Best cherry almond smoothie tip
I always start with less liquid than I think I need. Blending everything thick first lets the cherries and almond butter really do their thing. Then after about 30 seconds of blending, you can splash in more milk to get the texture just right. It keeps the smoothie creamy instead of runny.
