Ingredients
Scale
Fresh Fruit:
- 1/2 pound pitted sweet cherries, 1 1/2 cups
- 1 cup fresh blueberries, washed
Toppings:
- 1–2 Tablespoons unsweetened finely shredded coconut
- 1 cup Chocolate Almond Granola, or your favorite granola
- 1–2 Tablespoons bee pollen
- 1/4 cup shelled hemp seeds, also called hemp hearts
Smoothie Base:
- 1/2 pound pitted sweet cherries, 1 1/2 cups
- 1 ripe banana, peeled
- 2 Tablespoons coconut butter, also called mana
- 1 Teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 packet frozen acai purée, 100 grams or 3.5 ounces
Instructions
- Prepare/assemble your fruit and toppings before making the smoothie base.
- For the smoothie base place the pitted cherries, banana, coconut butter, and vanilla extract into a blender. Secure the lid and blend until smooth, using the tamper if needed to keep the mixture moving.
- Break up the frozen acai packet, add it to the blender, and blend again until completely smooth.
- Pour the smoothie base into 4 bowls, and top with the fresh fruit and the toppings.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
I’ve kept the smoothie base refrigerated overnight with the toppings separate and it’s almost as good as fresh.
It’s important to note that bee pollen isn’t Vegan, you can adjust the recipe by adding chia seeds or another favorite seed.
