Can you guess the s-tart-let? Yup, tart cherry juice! It lives up to its name in the tart department, yet this smoothie delivers a more balanced flavor thanks to the addition of frozen fruit, earthy tahini, and a dash of almond extract. If you haven’t tried almond extract in your smoothies, it gives ’em a little extra pizzazz!
