You can get your cherry pie and your leafy greens in this sweet treat smoothie. Cherries are one of those desert foods that we don't always think of as a superfood. But don't let the sweetness fool you. Cherries provide Vitamin C, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that will reduce pain and increase healing in your tissues. We added cinnamon, chia seeds, and almond butter to provide blood sugar stabilization so that you can drink this smoothie as a meal or a post workout snack.
