Ingredient Notes For This Dark Cherry Breakfast Smoothie:
- Frozen Cherries – Pick cherries that are dark, sweet and tart. They make for the best breakfast, snack and dessert treats. Just add one cup of fruit to the blender along with one banana.
- If you can’t find cherries, a great alternative would be wild blueberries, mango and strawberries. (You can also use fresh fruit if you want. However, I like the consistency that frozen fruit provides).
- Banana – If, for some reason, you do not want to add banana then add two cups of frozen fruit.
- Seeds – I use a trilogy of flax seeds, chia seeds and hemp seeds, which adds loads of fiber, protein and healthy fats. My favorite brand is below.
- Granola – For this recipe, you can use store bought or homemade granola. I love to pair this Chocolate Sea Salt Granola with this smoothie. The salty-sweet chocolate clusters and cherry flavor are perfect together! And, bonus, this granola is gluten-free. It contains only 6 grams of added sugar and is packed with probiotics to help your stomach. Just sprinkle a bit on top, for crunch, right before serving.
This Dark Cherry Breakfast Smoothie is one of my favorite smoothies because of its taste and convenience. So give it a try to today, and be sure to let me know what you think.

As always, your food photos are irresistible! And I’m into smoothies with my new eating plan. I was fortunate in our small town to find regular sea salt, so I’m doubtful I’ll find chocolate sea salt but I’ll give it a try! This looks too good NOT to try!!!
Thanks so much! You always make me feel so good. 😉 Actually, it’s not chocolate sea salt. It is chocolate sea salt granola that you can top the smoothie with. And it is so so good! I provide a link within the post if you want to check out the granola. (FYI: I have been able to find the granola at Safeway, TJ Maxx/Home Goods and Amazon as well).
