Recently, I was eating some of the famous Ben and Jerry’s Cherry Garcia ice cream and it hit me - these flavors are perfect together. AND, this needs to be in healthier, smoothie form.  

Voila, here it is! This tastes a bit like Cherry Garcia! Only, healthier, and in smoothie form!

And let me tell you - this smoothie is exactly that! It tastes like ice cream.  It’s sweet, it’s balanced, and it doesn’t taste too much like mango (it’s not overpowering at all).  

I’m obsessed with this smoothie and I think you will be, too.  Because I’m obsessed with any and all things cherry (like this mocktail and this one), I’m always coming up with new ways to make cherries a little more exciting.

Ingredients + some swaps

The ingredients are simple, you just need:

• Cherries - pitted.  I used a mix of sweet, dark, and tart cherries.  You can use whatever cherries you have and like! 
• Mango chunks - I used frozen, because they’re easier to get and cheaper than fresh. 
• Milk - use any milk you like as long as the flavor won’t clash with the smoothie. I used 2%, but you can use plant-based milk as well.  Oat milk is nice, also.  Unsweetened is best, but vanilla flavored milk will work, too! 
• Honey - just a dash for some sweetness and for the health benefits.  
• Dark chocolate chips - I love adding dark chocolate chips to this smoothie, there really isn’t a better combo than cherries and dark chocolate! You can leave them out if you want, though.  
• Coconut flakes - just a little bit of unsweetened coconut flakes add tons of flavor to this smoothie.  If you don’t have them, you can leave them out. 

How do you make a cherry mango smoothie?

Smoothies are simple to make, just measure the ingredients and throw them into a blender!

Then blend until smooth. If things aren't blending easily, add another splash of milk (or water) to thin things out.

Then pour the smoothie into a bowl or a glass!

I like to top mine with come chunks of dark chocolate and coconut flakes, but this is a totally optional step!

You could also add...

• Flaxseed - flaxseed is a great addition to your smoothie.  It is known to improve digestive health and it’s a nice boost if you’re looking to add extra fiber to your drink! 
• Banana - add half of a fresh or frozen banana, it goes well with the rest of the flavors. 
• Dates - for sweetness and the additional health benefits (they’re a superfood!). 
• Ice - if you use fresh fruit instead of frozen, definitely throw a handful of ice into your smoothie for the texture.  
• Water - if your smoothie is too thick, you can thin it out with some water or swap the milk (if you’re sensitive to it) for water.  
• Greek Yogurt - sometimes I add a spoonful of full-fat Greek yogurt to my smoothies for a boost in protein and probiotics.  
• Matcha - I can’t think of a time when adding ½ tsp of matcha powder to a smoothie is ever a bad idea? If you need a little caffeine boost, go ahead and add a pinch to your smoothie!
• Nut butter - such as peanut, almond, or cashew. Just a spoonful into the blender or add a drizzle on top before serving.
