Instructions

1 Combine the frozen dark sweet cherries, unsweetened almond milk, frozen banana slices, almond butter, pure vanilla extract, and chia seeds in a high-powered blender. If you prefer a sweeter bowl, add your chosen sweetener now.
2 Blend on high speed, using the tamper if necessary, until the mixture is thick and creamy, resembling soft-serve ice cream. This should take about 1-2 minutes, depending on your blender's power. Scrape down the sides as needed to ensure all ingredients are incorporated.
3 Once the desired consistency is reached, immediately spoon the thick smoothie mixture into serving bowls. Work quickly to prevent it from melting.
4 Artfully arrange your toppings over the smoothie base. Sprinkle with sliced fresh almonds, add a few fresh cherries for a pop of color and texture, and finish with a delicate drizzle of almond butter.
5 Serve the gluten-free cherry almond smoothie bowl immediately and enjoy its refreshing flavors and delightful textures.

Use only enough almond milk to get the blades moving. The bowl should be thick, like soft-serve.
Toast the sliced almonds in a dry pan for a few minutes for extra crunch on top.
