Frequently Asked Questions

→ What kind of juice works best?
Cherry juice is ideal, but cran-cherry, apple juice, or white grape juice work well too. Choose based on how sweet you want the smoothie.
→ Can I use fresh cherries instead of frozen?
Frozen cherries help create a thick, cold smoothie. If using fresh, add some ice to achieve similar texture and temperature.
→ Why add banana to the smoothie?
Banana adds natural sweetness and creates a creamy texture. It also helps thicken the smoothie and adds nutritional value.
→ Can I make this ahead of time?
Smoothies are best enjoyed right after blending. If needed, store in an airtight container for up to 24 hours, but texture may change.
→ What can I substitute for Greek yogurt?
Regular vanilla yogurt works well, or use dairy-free alternatives like almond yogurt. This will change the protein content and creaminess.
