Cherry Banana Smoothie

Ingredients:

* 1-2 cups baby spinach, washed and patted dry
* 1/2 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk (or milk of choice)
* 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (I use 2% fat)
* 1/2 frozen medium banana
* 1/2 cup pitted cherries (fresh or frozen)
* 1/4 teaspoon almond extract (optional)

Preparation:

1. Place ingredients in the blender in order that they're listed above, with spinach at the bottom.
2. Blend on high until smooth and creamy. Pour into a glass and enjoy!

* You can add Greek yogurt for extra protein, but feel free to leave it out.
* For even more protein, add a scoop of your favorite protein powder.
* If you're looking for a more filling smoothie, you can also add a tablespoon of almond butter.
* Hemp hearts, ground flax seed, and chia seeds can also be added for a boost of healthy fats (start with 1 tablespoon of one of these).
* This smoothie does not save well. I recommend drinking it soon after blending.
