Super Sweet Fresh Vanilla Cherry Smoothie Recipe

I’m excited to kick off Cherry Week here at Juggling Real Food and Real Life.  I have a week of brand new recipes featuring Skylar-Rae cherries thanks to my partnership with Stemilt.  Stemilt grows the “sweetest cherry you will ever eat.” With cherries this sweet, it is easy to create amazing recipes that your family is sure to love.  Today, I start with a super easy smoothie recipe that is sure to be a new family favorite.  Perfect for summer!  

Stemilt provided me with the cherries for this week’s recipes.  My love for super sweet cherries is all my own.   


 

Smoothies are so easy to make.  They are packed with lots of great nutrition and flavor thanks to the variety of fruits and vegetables that can be used.  This vanilla cherry smoothie has a beautiful color and no artificial additives are needed to make this extra delicious.  My kids loves this recipe for breakfast and it is equally delicious as a frosty treat on a hot summer day.

Super Sweet Fresh Vanilla Cherry Smoothie Recipe
Author: Christina - Juggling Real Food and Real Life
Recipe type: Smoothie
 
Ingredients
  • 1 cup pitted fresh Skylar Rae Cherries
  • 1 cup pitted frozen sweet cherries
  • 1 ripe banana (frozen is preferred)
  • ½ cup whole milk yogurt
  • ½ teaspoon real vanilla
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 cup ice
  • 1 teaspoon honey if extra sweetness is desired
Instructions
  1. Mix all in blender until desired consistency is reached.
  2. Add extra milk if too thick.
  3. Add extra ice if too thin
3.5.3226

When making smoothies on a regular basis, get in the habit of buying extra bananas and let the ones you don’t eat get extra ripe.  Yes, they will be brown and kind of ugly.  That ugly brown color is sweetness.  The sweeter the banana is, the less likely you will need to add extra sweetener.  I let my bananas get brown and ugly, then carefully peel them and place in a big Ziploc bag in the freezer.  That’s how I am always “smoothie ready”!  I’m really picky about how the bananas I eat look.  I would never touch a banana with a brown spot on it.  However, smoothies are a different story.  Extra brown and sweet is what I prefer for making smoothies. 

I hope you love this new cherry smoothie recipe as much as we do!  I’ll be back later this week with additional cherry recipes featuring the Skylar-Rae cherries from Stemilt.

🎉 Juggling Real Food and Real Life is officiall 🎉 Juggling Real Food and Real Life is officially a teenager! 🎉

13 years ago, I hit publish on my very first blog post. Back then, my kids were still young, and I was deep in the “mom life” of packing lunches, rushing to practices, and trying to figure out how to keep real food on the table without losing my mind. 🍎🥦

Fast forward to today, and here I am—a grandmother! 👵💖 Life looks a little different now, but the heart of this community hasn’t changed. It’s still about juggling the busyness of life, making space for the people we love, and finding joy in real food (and real moments).

I never imagined that this little corner of the internet would become such a special part of my life for over a decade. Thank you for being here—whether you’ve been with me since the beginning or just found me recently. You are the reason this space is still going strong. 💕

Here’s to 13 years of memories, lessons, recipes, and laughter… and to many more ahead! 🥂

Drop me a comment and tell me how long you’ve been hanging out here—I’d love to know!
Just a little reminder for your day… you really Just a little reminder for your day… you really are amazing! 💚 Keep juggling life, real food, and all the little moments that make you, YOU.
✨Long rehearsals = lots of energy!✨ Young danc ✨Long rehearsals = lots of energy!✨
Young dancers need more than sparkly costumes and strong muscles—they need the right fuel to stay focused and energized all class long. 💃🥗

Balanced meals with carbs + protein + healthy fats are the secret to avoiding mid-class crashes and powering through those long practices. And don’t forget water—hydration is just as important as the food they eat! 💧

👉 In Part 1 of my new series on Fueling Young Dancers with Real Food, I’m sharing simple tips and snack ideas to help dancers shine at the studio.

What’s your dancer’s favorite pre-class snack? 🍎🥜
