I know I’ve mentioned that my littlest man is sort of a frozen cherry fanatic. We are pretty much going through two 3-pound Costco bags of organic frozen cherries every week at this point. He is not stopping. I think they feel good on his gums since he is teething.

Well, you won’t be surprised to hear this but just like his mama and brother, he gets bored of eating the same food over and over again (can anyone say mini-foodie?). This Coconut Cherry Vanilla smoothie was developed just for him to indulge in his cherry obsession.

Since I originally created this for the baby, I kept it dairy free, nut free, 100% sugar-free and also used Vanilla Bean Powder in place of pure Vanilla Extract since real vanilla extract is usually made with alcohol.

If you tend to like sweet stuff, you may want to add a teaspoon or two of pure Maple Syrup or a drop of Stevia but I don’t even think it needs it!

NOTES:

  • Just a quick note about the Pure Vanilla Powder. If it’s white, it’s processed and not “pure”. You are basically looking for a powder made from vanilla beans and that in its natural form is speckled black. I have only tried a couple brands so far and am really loving the quality of this one.
  • If you decide to substitute Pure Vanilla Extract, you most likely will have to add just a small amount of natural sweetener to counter the bitterness in the alcohol base. Start with a teaspoon of Pure Maple Syrup or a drop of good quality liquid Stevia.

    Can I make this and keep it in the fridge for a few hours and take it out to drink or do I have to drink it right away.

      It might separate a little but should still taste great!

    My wife has cut cherries out because she says they have too much “natural” sugar, but I’d love this recipe otherwise.

    Delicious and healthy, Really the recipe provided by you is looking so delicious, because I love cherry and vanilla is my favorite.

    I love smoothies and going to try this today.

    Can I add some chocolate powder also?

      Hope you loved it Rakesh! I find that chocolate overwhelms the subtle cherry flavor but I am sure if you tweak the ratios you can make it work!

    Wilderness Poets has good stuff! I haven’t tried vanilla powder, but they would be a good place to get it. I’ve been making smoothies with cherry almost every morning lately! I too started with the organic frozen sweet cherries from Costco but haven’t seen them there for a long time. Been making do with non-organic cherries from TJ’s. Questionable, since cherries take a lot of pesticides, but all I can find and I guess I want that cherry fix.

      They really do Mary!! I know what you mean. I like to get all of my berries organic (especially for the kids!). Wildwood and Earthbound also make them if you live near a natural foods store or Whole Foods.

    I don’t think I knew vanilla powder existed. Fun find! And fun dish — love cherries, so this smoothie is for me. And baby, of course. 🙂 Thanks!

      John – you have to get some for your wife since she loves to bake. The flavor of the vanilla powder in baked goods is amazing!
