This awesomely delicious Cherry Date Smoothie is one of our all time favorite smoothie recipes! Not only because we’re huge cherry lovers, but also because this spring we were blessed with tons of super yummy homegrown cherries, picked from my parents-in-law garden: )
Each spring we become completely obsessed with these little red wonders. Beside being sooo insanely tasty, they have a wide range of nutritional and health benefits. Cherries are packed with antioxidants and are also a great source of fiber, vitamins and minerals. They regulate metabolism, balance blood pressure, improve sleep and also help post-workout recovery.
And although we could eat fresh cherries all day long, I have to admit that cherries are the perfect base for divine smoothies and vegan dairy-free ice creams!
