Ingredients

1 cup cherries frozen
½ banana
1 cup almond milk
¼ cup walnuts
1 tablespoon hemp seeds
1 teaspoon Ceylon cinnamon
Dash of ground cloves optional
Toppings: cacao nibs or choped dark chocolate

Instructions

Add all ingredients in the blender. Note: add wet ingredients first for easier blending.
Mix everything at high speed until you get a smooth silky texture.
If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more liquid – milk or water. Blend again until everything is well combined.
Taste the smoothie and add additional sweetener if the smoothie is not sweet enough to your taste. (See "Recipe tips" section for sweetener recommendation)
Transfer the smoothie into a smoothie glass.
ADD TOPPINGS: I used cacao nibs. Be creative here and add toppings you like.
Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Makes 1 serving that serves 1 person as a full meal, or 2 servings as a snack.

As a measure, I used US cup (240ml). Nutrition values are calculated without added toppings.

Substitutions

You can use any plant-based milk here except coconut milk. Cow's milk is fine.
Coconut milk won't work well here.
You can substitute hemp seeds with ground flax seeds or chia seeds.

Store in a glass jar with a lid or shaker and keep refrigerated for up to one day.
