Ingredients

¾ cup frozen cherries (pitted)
½ frozen banana , cut into slices
¼ cup frozen raspberries
1 cup soy milk (or milk of choice)
1 tablespoon almond butter
2 tablespoons unflavored collagen (optional)
¼ teaspoon almond extract (optional)

Instructions

In a high-speed blender, combine the frozen cherries, banana, raspberries, milk, almond butter, collagen (if using), and almond extract. Secure the lid and blend until the mixture looks smooth.
Stop and scrape down the sides of the machine, if necessary, to ensure the ingredients are fully incorporated. Then, taste the smoothie to ensure you're satisfied with the flavor. For a slightly sweeter taste, add a teaspoon of maple syrup. Alternatively, for a more tangy option, add a few more frozen raspberries and blend again. Serve the smoothie right away for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

Nutrition information is for the whole batch. This calculation is based on an online database of ingredients, so it is an estimate and not a guarantee.

Protein Note: I use collagen peptides for protein because they add virtually no flavor to this smoothie. If you would rather use a different protein powder, feel free to experiment with it. Or, try using hemp hearts for plant-based protein.

Make it Sweeter: Replace a 1/4 cup of milk with orange juice instead. It will boost the overall flavor of the smoothie!
