Talk about a unique blend! The idea to put cranberry, banana, coconut, peach and pineapple into cherry smoothies is warm-weather brilliance. The recipe is a Sippable entry in the BIG Snackable Recipe Contest (over $3500 in cash prizes available!) submitted by Fiona Green.
The contest is a celebration of our new FREE Snackable eBook with delicious, original Sweet, Savory and Sippable Dairy-Free Recipes. Download and enjoy it now via PDF, iTunes, Kindle, Kobo or Google Play: www.godairyfree.org/snackable-ebook
To qualify for the contest, this recipe for cranberry and cherry smoothies uses Coconut Milk Beverage from So Delicious Dairy Free.
Note that Fiona uses frozen berries in these fruit-rich cherry smoothies. If you pt to use fresh, simply use a frozen banana, broken into chunks, to keep it chilly and somewhat thick. You can also opt to use a frozen banana along with the frozen berries if you like your smoothies thick.

I replaced cherries with sour cherries… yummm… The heat is not whining down yet where I am, so a nutritious and original smoothie makes my day!
Glad you enjoyed it – thanks for sharing your feedback and swap Claudia!
Okay, this seriously sounds amazing. Lots of great ingredients!
Yum! I’m loving the cherries in this!
I love the combination of cherry, cranberry and coconut all in one smoothie. I bet the flavor is so sweet and yummy.
Beautiful and healthy! I love this and actually have almost all the ingredients except cherry. Do you think raspberries would do in a pinch?
Yes! The raspberries may add a little tartness, but I don’t think that’s a bad thing.
This is a superfood smoothie, filled with loads of nutrients!
