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 cup non-fat, plain yogurt
1/2 cup toasted whole almonds
1 teaspoon almond extract
