Hi everyone! I hope your week is off to a great start. And if it’s not, don’t worry I have a delicious recipe to share with you today that is bound to cheer you up.

And in keeping with the cherry theme that I started last week I am posting a smoothie recipe that I originally developed last year. Yep this one has been collecting dust for over a year! What a bad blogger I am. Because you see, when I finally remembered it, cherry season was more than over so I was forced to put this one back in the vault to wait… And wait…

And guess what? It’s cherry season again which means I can finally share this one with you! And trust me this is a good one. You will want to try it. Like now. Besides cherries, which are loaded with antioxidants, this smoothie also contains cinnamon, grassfed gelatin (which we all know is a superfood right? If not you need to read this post), and healthy fats like cashew butter and coconut butter. Are your taste buds getting excited? I hope so!

So you know what can be annoying? Computers. I mean I love them, but sometimes also hate them. Why am I whining about computers do you ask? Because mine is currently in for repairs which means I am without it. Yep, the trackpad on my laptop just up and quit. And that little piece of equipment is rather vital it turns out. So for 3-5 days I am computer-less. And I have to admit it’s rather sad how dependent I am on that little guy. My school work, blogging activities and even some of my social life all depend on it. I am feeling a little lost without it. Sad but true. So you will have to forgive me if my social media is a little neglected this week. I will get back to you eventually don’t you worry. To be honest it’s probably good for me to take a little break from the computer. I honestly can’t remember the last time I went an entire day without using it. Can you? I am using this time as an excuse to catch up on some reading, cooking, workouts and spending time with friends. When I look at it that way it actually sounds pretty positive.

And on that note I think I will leave it there for today. But don’t forget to visit my social media pages: Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest and  Twitter.

Happy eating everyone!

    You can also use coconut manna or coconut cream concentrate. If you are trying to not use coconut you could try replacing it with extra cashew butter or almond butter, but I haven't actually tried this so I am not sure if the taste would be much different. Hope that helps!
