Cherries are on sale so of course I had to buy some. They are the sweet dark red cherries which are just so delicious and sweet by themselves. But today I decided I wanted a cherry shake and so I created this delicious ice cream shake.
Serves two.
- 3 small bananas, frozen
- 16 cherries, pitted
- 1 cup coconut milk [affiliate link]
- 1/2 cup ice cubes
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (I like to make my own)
- 1 tablespoon honey [affiliate link], optional
- pecans [affiliate link], optional
If you own a Vitamix Vitamix (affiliate link) throw everything into your blender and within a minute or two your ice cream shake will be ready to enjoy.
If your blender is less powerful you may find it helpful to add the cherries, honey and vanilla [affiliate link] first and blend until pureed. Then slice the bananas and blend until smooth.
Serves one or more.
