Customize Your Cherry Smoothie
To make this Cherry Smoothie truly your own, here are some delicious mix-in ideas to boost the nutritional value:
-
Flaxseed Meal: Add a tablespoon of flaxseed meal for an extra dose of fiber and minerals. Flaxseed can help balance hormone levels in the body, particularly in women, and have been studied for their potential benefits in managing symptoms of menopause.
-
Chia or Hemp Seeds: Incorporate a tablespoon of chia seeds or hemp seeds to boost healthy fats, fiber, and omega-3s. They also aid in creating a feeling of fullness and promoting satiety.
-
Greek Yogurt: Add a scoop of Greek yogurt (or your favorite dairy-free alternative) for an extra protein kick. Adjust the almond milk quantity to 1/4 cup if adding yogurt. Added bonus - it's packed with probiotics, Greek yogurt promotes a healthy digestive system when added to smoothies.
-
Cocoa or Cacao Powder: Transform your Cherry Smoothie into a delightful chocolate cherry treat by adding a tablespoon of cocoa or cacao powder. It will provide antioxidants and a rich flavor.
