# Top Tips:

01 -
  • Tart cherries pack serious antioxidants and taste like a treat
  • Six ingredients and five minutes to something that rivals any smoothie shop
02 -
  • Frozen cherries are essential here, fresh ones won't give you that thick, frosty texture
  • Letting the blender run longer than you think necessary is the difference between chunky and silky
03 -
  • Invest in a good blender, cheap ones leave cherry bits that ruin the experience
  • Letting the smoothie sit for just two minutes after blending lets the foam settle, making it easier to drink
