I adore cherries and love eating them on their own, but I bought some fresh cherries from the market recently and decided to make a couple of smoothies.
I combined cherry and mango for this specific smoothie and absolutely loved it.
At the same time, I was on an anti-inflammation diet, so this smoothie, fit in perfectly!

Optional Ingredient Substitutions & Recipe Notes:
If you lack certain ingredients from the ingredients list I put above, here are some substitutions:
- You can use pineapple instead of mango.
- If you don’t like bananas, you can add avocado or just increase the amount of mango you use by another 1/2 cup.
- Instead of almond butter, you can use peanut butter, which is a lot cheaper than almond butter.
- If you are nut-free, use sunflower seed butter instead of almond butter, and oat milk instead of almond milk.
Add-Ins:
- For a chocolate mango smoothie with cherries, you can add a tablespoon of cocoa powder if you like.
- Add a scoop of protein powder for an extra 20-25g of protein!
- Incorporate 1/2 cup of yogurt for a creamier smoothie richer in calcium.

When I made a single-serving smoothie, all my 8 different blenders and models worked with this recipe.
But, when I tested doubling this recipe, Nutribullet 600 and BlendJet 4000mAh were not compatible.
This is because they are personal blenders, and are not high-capacity.
