Method
- Add the milk and yogurt to a blender first.
- Add the banana, cherries, and nut butter.
- Blend for 45 to 60 seconds, until smooth.
- Add ice if you want it colder and thicker. Blend briefly and drink.
After a longer run, many people find a mix of carbs and protein easy to get down when a full meal does not sound good. This smoothie has both, and you can drink it on your way to the shower.
Swaps: use soy milk and a dairy-free yogurt for a vegan version. Add mango, spinach, or a scoop of protein powder. Add a pinch of salt after a hot, sweaty run.
Freeze ripe bananas in chunks so you always have some ready. Drink it right away for the best texture.
