Calories 293kcal
Ingredients
- ½ cup frozen cherries
- ⅔ cup vanilla frozen yogurt *I used Mayfield for nutrition calculations
- 1 cup 2% Fairlife milk *Fairlife adds an additional protein boost
- 3-4 ice cubes
- Optional add-in: 28 g of vanilla whey protein powder or 20 g of unflavored collagen peptides powder I usually add a scoop of whey for an additional 20-30 g of protein (depending on the brand used)
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a blender container.
- Blend until smooth and enjoy.
Notes
- Use frozen cherries. I highly recommend using frozen cherries, as they create a thicker, colder consistency without needing much ice. Unfortunately, I cannot guarantee the same results if you use fresh cherries.
- Texture preference. Blend the ingredients on a low setting if you prefer small chunks of cherries in your shake, or blend thoroughly on a higher setting for a smoother texture.
- Check the consistency. If it's too thick, you can add a bit more milk and blend again. If it’s too thin, you can add a bit more ice or frozen yogurt. I also found adding a scoop of protein powder helps with thickening.
