This oh-so-creamy Cherry Banana Smoothie is so refreshing and healthy at the same time. Fully packed with awesome flavor, too. Perfect for breakfast or as a snack after a rigorous exercise. Or just slurping down for a day’s relaxation.
One thing about smoothies that I really like, they are very easy to make. Many kinds of fruits can be made into a smoothie and still, you can never go wrong. They always taste better when they are combined with other fruit or fruits.
Vegetables, seeds, cereals, and a lot more surprising add ons are very much welcome additions to any smoothies as well. Just like this Blueberry Breakfast Smoothie.
Like any other smoothie, this flavorful Cherry Banana Smoothie is loaded with so much healthy stuff which makes it great to start your day, especially during summer.
Another thing that makes the smoothies their differences and what makes them fit your lifestyle is the kind of cream you’d like to add to them. Whether they are dairy or non-dairy, it’s up to you.
Something about Cherries and Berries
Many say berries make smoothies so luscious, that’s why Cherry Banana Smoothie is so delectable. Well, to those who don’t know yet, a cherry is not a berry. You may say: but they are small, round fleshy with seeds. So, what are they?
Cherries are drupes. Drupe is a category of fruit that is simple and fleshy with only one seed surrounded by a hard shell, also called ‘stone” and the seeds can’t be eaten.
While berries are also simple, fleshy fruits, they have one or more seeds with pulps surrounding them, and they can be eaten entirely.
See the difference?
