Notes
- Fresh or frozen fruit: Using frozen fruit eliminates the need for ice. The smoothie can be made with fresh cherries and banana but it will be thinner in consistency. You could add ice to thicken it if you prefer.
- How to freeze bananas: Keep frozen bananas in the freezer to make smoothies whenever you like. To do this, peel ripe banana, slice or cut into chunks, and place in freezer bag for up to 3 months. They'll keep longer than that but they will begin soften more and turn brown.
- Storage: Smoothies are best enjoyed immediately. This recipe makes a large 16 oz. smoothie. Store extra in the refrigerator for up to a day. The consistency will get thinner as the fruit thaws out completely. If you prefer, freeze the smoothie in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Remove the frozen smoothie from the freezer and let it thaw until you can stir it.
