Frozen cherries are a nice change of pace, but a little more expensive than other frozen fruit. We don't buy them often, but when we do this is what we make. The avocado adds a nutritional boost and a velvety texture. Of course, you can include avocado in any of our smoothies. It’s the perfect solution for those what don’t like avocados, but want the health benefits. Fresh basil adds a surprising zing to this smoothie.
Tools:blender, measuring cup and spoons
