Cherry Revitalizer Smoothie (vegan, gluten-free, soy-free, nut-free)

This amazing delicious Cherry Revitalizer Smoothie (vegan, gluten-free, soy-free, nut-free) I found at http://www.averiecooks.com/ and I love it. Tart cherries are rich in Vitamin A, the banana has potassium, and coconut water is a natural electrolyte replenishes, making it a great choice pre- or post-workout, or anytime you need a little pick-me-up. I hope you like it.

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 cups Montmorency tart cherries, frozen
• 2 medium/large ripe bananas (previously frozen in chunks is ideal)
• 1 cup coconut water (water may be substituted)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla or almond extract
• sweetener, to taste (granulated sugar, agave, stevia, zero-calorie sweetener, etc.)

DIRECTIONS:

• Combine all ingredients in the canister of a blender and blend until smooth and creamy.
• Serve immediately. Extra portions may be frozen in freezer-safe (plastic) glasses for up to 3 months. Allow to soften at room temp before serving.
