Smoothie Recipe Cherry Almondillo (raw food)

Frozen sour cherries add a delightful tart tang that balances the dates used to sweeten this smoothie. We had it as a late afternoon snack but feel free to drink it down first thing in the morn. It's great after an intense hot yoga class too.
This recipe was an afternoon delight of exploring and having fun with ingredients on hand, the results were approved by those who shared happy faces and nods of bliss.
Here's to health and good food!
