My favorite smoothie ever! I’ve been having this as a snack or dessert all summer long. The almond extract gives it that yummy cherry ice cream flavor. It requires minimal ingredients while packing a TON of health benefits. Cherries are anti-inflammatory, improve muscle recovery (hello post workout!), heart healthy & full of antioxidants, including melatonin.
