Instructions

Add the milk and vanilla extract to a high-speed blender first.
Add the frozen blueberries and frozen pitted cherries.
Add the ice cubes and fine sea salt.
Blend on low for 10 seconds, then increase to high and blend for 35–50 seconds, until completely smooth.
Check consistency. Blend in 1–2 tablespoons additional milk if too thick, or a few extra ice cubes/frozen fruit if too thin.
Pour into a 16-ounce glass and serve immediately.

Tips

Use any milk variety you prefer, such as almond or oat milk, to make the smoothie dairy-free. Adding a bit of yogurt can increase creaminess if desired.
