Loved this! I used frozen cherries and peaches, so I omitted the ice and it was a little too thick. If you do this, I would toss in some ice.
This was excellent, but too sweet if you are using fresh fruit. I made it a second time without the agave syrup and it was considerably better.
Doubled the recipe for two. Added 4 pieces of canned guava in a jar from Costco instead of the plum. Superb!
Experimented with this one a few times. I do think it needs both the extract and agave, as it wasn’t as flavorful without it. It needs a little bit more fruit to make a full glass. Along with the cherries, I tried peach, strawberry and blueberry in separate mixes. Peach was best.
This is a very tasty smoothie. You do not need the agave nectar as it’s sweet enough without. Unless you like super sweet smoothies. I also added a bit more almond milk to make it drinkable through a straw. I’m saving this one. It’s really good.
Easy, tasty and healthy. No overpowering almond or cherry flavors. My only “complaint” would be that it could use a little less almond flour for a less gritty feel. We subbed agave nectar for honey for a little extra sweetness. Overall, would make it again!
