Ingredients

Scale

1 cup frozen mango chunks – adds tropical flavor and fiber
1 cup frozen cherries – provides antioxidants and vibrant color
¾ cup plain Greek yogurt – makes it creamy and protein-rich
½ cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice) – for smooth blending
1 tablespoon hemp seeds (optional) – for a nutty crunch and omega-3s
1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional) – natural sweetener if needed

Instructions

Prepare the blender: Set up a high-speed blender for best texture results.
Layer ingredients: Start with almond milk, followed by yogurt, mango, cherries, and optional sweetener or hemp seeds.
Blend until smooth: Process for 45–60 seconds or until the smoothie is creamy and lump-free.
Adjust consistency: Add more milk for a thinner drink or reduce liquid for a thick smoothie bowl.
Serve and enjoy: Pour into a glass, garnish with a cherry or hemp seeds, and enjoy fresh.

Notes

Use plant-based yogurt and milk to make it dairy-free.

Add a scoop of protein powder for an extra post-workout boost.

Substitute with fresh fruit and a few ice cubes if frozen isn’t available.

Turn into a smoothie bowl with toppings like granola, banana slices, and chia seeds.
