Instructions

Add the milk and vanilla extract to a high-speed blender.
Add the frozen cherries and frozen mixed berries.
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 the consistency. Blend in 1–2 tablespoons additional milk if too thick, or a few extra ice cubes or frozen fruit if too thin.
Pour into a 16-ounce glass and serve immediately.

Tips

Use frozen mixed berries to add a true berry flavor distinct from cherry and maintain the smoothie’s refreshing texture. Substitute any type of milk for a dairy-free option.
