Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup frozen cherries
  • ½ cup fresh baby spinach leaves
  • ¼ cup ripe avocado mashed
  • 1 cup plain low-fat kefir
  • 1 tbsp almond butter
  • 1 tsp chia seeds
  • ½ inch fresh ginger peeled
  • ¼ cup cold water or ice

Method
 

  1. Add the kefir to a high-speed blender to create a smooth base for blending.
  2. Drop in the frozen cherries and fresh spinach so they blend evenly into the liquid.
  3. Add the mashed avocado, almond butter, and chia seeds for creaminess and healthy fats.
  4. Place the peeled ginger piece into the blender to provide a warm, aromatic spice note.
  5. Pour in the cold water or ice to help achieve a chilled, drinkable consistency.
  6. Blend on high speed until the mixture becomes smooth, thick, and vibrantly colored.
  7. Pause and scrape down the sides if needed, then blend again until no leafy bits remain.
  8. Pour into a chilled glass and serve immediately while the smoothie is cold and creamy.
