📨 Cherry Almond Protein Smoothie
A low-glycemic, high-protein breakfast you can blend in 5 minutes flat.
🍒 Start Your Morning Right
If your mornings are chaos (and whose isn't) and your blood sugar doesn’t need another excuse to spike, this smoothie is your new secret weapon. It’s packed with fiber, protein, healthy fats—and it actually tastes good.
And yes, it features cherries. Because who doesn’t want a little sweetness without the sugar crash?
It looks pretty. It taste good. And it delivers a nutrient rich, quick, no-fuss, no-muss breakfast for the entire family.
âś… Ingredients (1 Serving)
-
1 cup frozen cherries (Frozen works better than fresh in this instance. Most frozen fruits are picked, flash frozen, and packaged at their peak ripeness. This means they are at their most nutritious.)
-
1 scoop Meal2Grow powder (we'll be back on the market with our Meal2Grow soon. In the meantime just substitute some high quality vanilla protein)
-
½ cup unsweetened almond milk (use the milk style of your choice. I use a whole dairy milk. Just make sure that if you use a nut milk it is unsweetened and without any additives. Water works well also.)
-
ÂĽ cup plain Greek yogurt (or more protein powder if dairy-free)
-
1 tablespoon chia seeds
-
1 tablespoon almond butter or any nut butter (I use peanut butter. Any works well but make sure there isn't any added sugar.)
-
½ teaspoon cinnamon
-
Optional: 1–2 ice cubes, ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract (the ice cubes aren't really needed if you're using frozen cherries.)
đź”§ Why It Works
-
Cherries help reduce inflammation and support sleep and they're a low glycemic food
-
Protein + fat slow down digestion and stabilize energy
-
Chia + almond butter add fiber, satiety, and texture
-
Cinnamon may help keep blood sugar steady
👩🍳 Quick Instructions

Toss everything in a blender.
-
Blend for 30–45 seconds.

Adjust to your preferred thickness.
-
Pour into a glass and go!
đź’ˇ Optional Boosts
-
Swap almond butter for tahini or walnut butter
-
Add a handful of spinach (you won’t taste it. I always add a handful of leafy greens. Usually a spinach and kale mix.)
-
½ frozen banana = extra sweetness (for active days)
-
1 tsp psyllium husk = next-level fiber power
đź§’ Kid-Friendly Remix
-
Swap chia seeds for ½ frozen banana
-
Add 1 Tbsp rolled oats to smooth out the texture
-
Top with mini chocolate chips or whipped yogurt
-
Serve it in a clear cup with a fun straw—because presentation matters
