Cherry Berry Smoothie


                                      I'm totally on a smoothie kick...You may see them weekly.
                     I love that I can drink them on a warm day and it is so refreshing. I love that I
                           never waste fruit, anymore. I love the vibrant colors you get when you
                                     blend everything together. It's the little things in life.

                                                                   Cherry Berry Smoothie

                                                                    2 cups of strawberries
                                                                1 cup of fresh pitted cherries
                                                                             1 banana
                                                                      1/2 cup almond milk
                                                                  2 tablespoons agave nectar
                                                                           2 cups of ice

                      1) Place ice in blender and all of the other ingredients. Blend until smooth.

    Okay I'm making this. I just need the cherries! Ever since I first saw the McDonald's commercial for their cherry berry smoothie I've been craving one but this looks much more delicious!

    These pictures are so pretty!
    ... geez lady, you can make ANYTHING look yummy.

    I bet if you cooked a log, you'd still manage to make it look mighty tasty.

    Val this sounds great. I had a favorite smoothie at Jamba Juice that was made with cherries but it didn't last long. This is great- thanks. Happy weekend!
