Ingredients
  

2 cups frozen cherries

1 ripe banana

1 cup almond milk (or any milk of choice)

2 tablespoons chia seeds

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, adjust to taste)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Fresh cherries and banana slices for topping

Granola for crunch (optional)

Coconut flakes or nuts for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Blend the Base: In a blender, combine the frozen cherries, ripe banana, almond milk, chia seeds, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Blend on high until smooth and creamy. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides to ensure everything is well combined.

    Check Consistency: If the mixture is too thick for your liking, add a little more almond milk, a tablespoon at a time, and blend again until you reach your desired consistency. Additionally, if you like your smoothie bowl thicker, you can add a few more frozen cherries.

      Chill: Once blended, let the smoothie sit for about 5 minutes to allow the chia seeds to absorb some liquid and thicken the mixture slightly.

        Prepare the Bowl: Pour the cherry smoothie into a bowl.

          Add Toppings: Arrange fresh cherries, banana slices, granola, coconut flakes, or any nuts you desire on top of your smoothie bowl. Get creative with your arrangement for a visually appealing presentation!

            Serve & Enjoy: Grab a spoon and dig in! Enjoy your delightful Cherry Bliss Smoothie Bowl, packed with antioxidants and deliciousness.
