- 2 tablespoons almond milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 banana
- 1 pinch lemon zest
- 1 pinch cinnamon

- 1 teaspoon hemp seeds
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds

Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all the ingredients including frozen cherries, almond milk, vanilla extract, banana, lemon zest, cinnamon, hemp seeds, chia seeds, sliced almonds, almond butter, and dairy-free chocolate chips.
- Blend Smoothie: In a high-speed blender, combine the frozen cherries, almond milk, vanilla extract, banana, lemon zest, and cinnamon. Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and cold but still thick enough to hold toppings.

Notes
- Use frozen cherries to achieve a thick and cold consistency without needing ice.
- For a sweeter bowl, add a teaspoon of maple syrup or agave nectar before blending.
- You can swap almond milk for other plant-based milks like oat or coconut milk.
- Adjust toppings to your preference; fresh berries or shredded coconut work great.
- To make it keto-friendly, reduce banana and add avocado instead.
