Ingredients
- 1 Cup frozen organic cherries
- 1 Cup baby kale packed
- 2 Tablespoons macadamia nut butter
- ½ cup coconut milk more as needed

- 2 teaspoons maple syrup

- ⅛ teaspoon pure monk fruit powder optional, for a very sweet smoothie
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Wash and dry your baby kale, then add it to your blender with the macadamia butter and blend on high for 10-15 seconds, until the kale breaks into smoother, less fibrous pieces.
- Then add the coconut milk, moringa, ginger, salt, and monk fruit (if using), and blend for 15 more seconds on high, until the ginger is completely broken up.
- Finally, blend in the cherries & maple syrup for about 10 seconds, and your iron-rich smoothie is ready!
Notes
Adding Protein: You can add 1 to 1 ½ Tablespoons of plant protein powder to this without changing the flavor much, but anything more and it starts to affect it.
Which Milk to Use: This smoothie goes well with oat milk, almond milk, or water, all of which can be frozen into ice cubes and blended for a frostier smoothie.
Monk Fruit: This is not required, but you can substitute this 1:1 for stevia powder if you like your smoothies extra sweet but don't like monk fruit.
