Notes
Can I use frozen cherries in a cherry smoothie? Yes, absolutely! This recipe works great with frozen cherries, and it's extra easy since they're already pitted.
Do I need to add ice to this smoothie? If you use either frozen cherries or a frozen banana (or both), then you don't need to add any ice. But if none of your ingredients are frozen, you'll need to add some ice to chill and thicken the smoothie.
