Cherry Berry Smoothie

How is it almost August?! I can't believe summer is flying by so quickly.

I've been making smoothies like crazy this summer. It's been fun trying new recipes and tweaking them with different ingredients. I'll make a green smoothie after a workout, or a chocolate smoothie around that time of the month (because cravings, duh). Some days I add veggies to my smoothie, others I just want something fruity and sweet. This smoothie is just that.

Normally I just eat cherries right out of the container, but I wanted to try them in a smoothie and it did not disappoint. This Cherry Berry smoothie has just the right amount of sweetness and is full of healthy fats and protein to help slow down the absorption of the fructose so I can stay full and have a steady stream of energy.

I hope you enjoy this smoothie as much as I did!
