The ultimate healthy dessert for breakfast! This Cherry Cheesecake Smoothie Bowl is sweet, satisfying and loaded with nutritious cherries. {gluten free}
I was so happy to find fresh cherries at Trader Joe's yesterday. I knew I had to make something special with them right away. I am obsessed with smoothie bowls as you know from my Matcha Smoothie Bowl and my Pomegranate Smoothie Bowl. Sometimes I eat them for lunch or make a smaller version for an afternoon snack. The possibilities are endless. If you are more of an "I only drink my smoothies kinda person," check out my Green Smoothie Recipes for Beginners.
Instructions
- Toss all your ingredients into a high powered blender and blend well. This is a super thick smoothie bowl so you may have to use the tamper to push the ingredients down and help the blending process. If you don't have a high powered blender like a Vitamix, you can stop a few times during blending and scrape down the sides of the blender.
- Play with your consistency. Add more almond milk if it's too thick or less to make it thicker. There is a bit of magic to smoothie bowls and you have to play around with it. Mine was so thick, it was almost like sorbet! Mmmm.
- Add toppings! The best part...nuts, seeds, fruit, coconut flakes, nut butters or chocolate chips.
