Image and Recipe Copyright © 2003-2010 Jennifer Iserloh
Frozen cherries are a great fruit to keep on hand for snacks and quick desserts! Ideal for smoothies, cherries are naturally sweet, the frozen whole black cherries are fairly inexpensive, and store for months in your freezer. If you use fresh cherries, chill before serving.

1/4 cup toasted whole almonds
1 teaspoon almond extract
2 teaspoons granulated sugar

In a blender combine cherries, yogurt or kefir, ice cubes, almonds, almond extract, sugar, and flax.

I just made this and LOVED It!! I didnt have enough yogurt so I added some almond milk to get it to mix…Still enjoyed it and will make it again!

I freeze the yogurt and used frozen mixed berries and used 1 teaspoon of Splenda instead of sugar. As usual I loved this recipe and it tastes just great.
