Ingredients you’ll need

• Frozen mango: Mango chunks add a tropical sweetness that is rich, juicy, and smooth.
• Frozen cherries. Cherries add a slightly tart and tangy flavor that complements the sweetness of the mango. I usually use Costco’s organic frozen dark sweet cherries for my smoothies.
• Almond Butter: Natural almond butter adds healthy fats and makes the smoothie filling. Any nut or seed butter works, like peanut butter, cashew butter, or sunflower seed butter. Note that the flavor might change.
• Hemp Seeds: For a boost of healthy fats, omegas, and minerals. They also add fiber and protein. You can add flax or chia seeds instead. It’s optional but helps make the smoothie more filling.
• Ground Cinnamon: The addition of cinnamon brings a subtle but noticeable flavor that compliments the overall natural sweet taste.
• Almond Milk: Unsweetened almond milk is one of my favorite liquid base for smoothies. It tastes great, it’s low in calories, and it’s available everywhere. You can use any milk of your choice. Use plant milk (oat, soy, cashew, coconut) to make this smoothie dairy-free and vegan if necessary. Soy milk is great for added protein. If you want to make this smoothie without milk of any kind, use water instead.

How to make mango cherry smoothie

It’s super easy! Simply combine all ingredients in a blender, and blend until completely smooth and creamy. Taste the smoothie and add additional milk if it is too thick. And that’s it.

Note that you do not need a high-dollar blender to make this smoothie. If you use a high-powered blender (like Vitamix or Blendtec), your smoothie will have a finer, more even consistency. But you can certainly make this recipe in a regular blender too. I usually use my Nutribullet for individual smoothies, and it works great.

Tips & recipe notes

• Use frozen fruits for a thick, creamy smoothie. However, if you decide to use fresh cherries, be sure to pit them first.
• Play around with the liquid amount! If your smoothie is too thick, add more milk or water a few tablespoons at a time.
• If you do have a high-speed blender, start on low speed, then gradually increase the speed to high to help blend all ingredients. This is particularly important when using a small amount of liquid.

Variations & additions

Make your mango cherry smoothie unique by adding your preferred nutrient boosters and mix-ins. Here are some ideas:

• Easily add more protein to a smoothie by adding 1 scoop of your favorite protein powder, or even some greek yogurt or silken tofu.
• To make a smoothie thicker and creamier, you can add frozen cauliflower rice (I swear you won’t taste it!), or frozen banana.
• Want more nutrients? Try adding a handful of spinach or kale to it. The taste will be great, but note that the color will change.
• I find this smoothie sweet enough, however, you can sweeten it up by adding maple syrup, honey, or pitted medjool dates.
• You can also add rolled oats for extra fiber.
