Ingredients

1 ½ cups frozen dark sweet cherries
1 large ripe frozen banana
1 cup unsweetened coconut milk (Add more as needed to thin it out)
1 scoop vanilla protein powder (I love the Garden of Life vanilla protein powder)
2 tbsp almond butter
1 tbsp hemp seeds (omit for the first week after surgery)
1 tbsp chia seeds (omit for the first week after surgery)
1 tbsp ground flax seed powder (omit for the first week after surgery)

Instructions

Add all ingredients to a high powered blender and blend on high until smooth and creamy.

Notes

You can use room temperature bananas, I just like my smoothie really cold and frosty. Plus, it feels good on a sore mouth.
If you don't have any bananas, you can sub 1 cup of frozen mango for a similar flavor and texture consistency.
If you're making this smoothie right after you have oral surgery, DO NOT add the chia seeds, hemp seeds, or ground flax seeds to the smoothie. I waited to add them back to my smoothie ingredients until one week after just to be safe.
You can sub strawberries, peaches, or raspberries for the cherries.
You can cub chocolate protein powder for the vanilla protein powder.
