Ingredients
  

1 cup frozen cherries

1 ripe banana

1/2 cup Greek yogurt (or a dairy-free alternative)

1/2 cup almond milk (or your preferred milk alternative)

2 tablespoons chia seeds

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for added sweetness)

Toppings:

Fresh cherries, halved

Sliced banana

Crunchy granola

Toasted coconut flakes

Chopped nuts (almonds or walnuts)

Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

Prep the Blender: Begin by preparing your workspace. Gather all ingredients and ensure that your frozen cherries are not stuck together. This will help achieve a smooth consistency when blending.

    Blend the Base: Add the frozen cherries, ripe banana, Greek yogurt, almond milk, chia seeds, and honey or maple syrup (if using) into the blender. Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. If you find the mixture is too thick, pause to scrape down the sides of the blender or add a small splash of almond milk to achieve your desired consistency.

      Check the Consistency: After blending, the smoothie should be thick yet pourable. If it’s too thick for your liking, simply mix in a bit more almond milk until it reaches your preferred texture.

        Pour into Bowl: Carefully pour the smoothie mixture into a bowl, making sure to create an even surface for your toppings.

          Add Toppings: Get creative with your toppings! Start by arranging freshly halved cherries and banana slices on top of the smoothie base. Follow with a generous sprinkle of granola, a scattering of coconut flakes, and a handful of chopped nuts for crunch. Complete with a few mint leaves for a refreshing garnish and an eye-catching finish.

            Serve Immediately: To enjoy the smoothie in its best form, serve your Cherry Bliss Smoothie Bowl right away. This ensures a delightful texture and a vibrant burst of freshness!
