Ingredients
  

1 cup frozen cherries, pitted

1 ripe banana, peeled and sliced

1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt

1/2 cup coconut milk (or almond milk for a nutty flavor)

Juice of 1 fresh lime

Zest of 1 lime

1 tablespoon honey (optional, adjust based on your sweetness preference)

1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Ice cubes (optional, for additional thickness)

Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by gathering all your ingredients. Ensure that your cherries are fully frozen to achieve a creamy texture in your smoothie. Slice the banana for easier blending.

    Blend the Base: In a high-speed blender, add the frozen cherries, sliced banana, Greek yogurt, and coconut milk. This will form the creamy and fruity base of your smoothie.

      Add Flavor: Squeeze the juice from the lime into the blender. Then, sprinkle in the lime zest, adjust the sweetness with honey, and add the vanilla extract for a touch of warmth. Blend everything together until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

        Adjust Consistency: If you prefer a thicker and colder smoothie, add a handful of ice cubes and blend again until the ice is incorporated and the smoothie reaches your desired thickness.

          Taste and Adjust: Give your smoothie a quick taste. If you find it needs a little more sweetness, add an extra drizzle of honey and blend for a few seconds to mix it in.

            Serve: Pour the vibrant cherry-lime smoothie into two glasses. For a beautiful presentation, garnish each glass with a sprig of fresh mint leaves.

              Enjoy: Serve your smoothie immediately while it's cold and refreshing. Relish the delightful harmony of cherry and lime flavors in every sip!
