How to Make Creamy Cherry Kefir Popsicles Or Smoothie Vegan Friendly

  1. Combine 1 cup pitted fresh cherries and 1 cup peach-flavored kefir in a food processor. Process until cherries are completely broken down and the mixture turns a lovely pink hue.
  2. Add your desired sweetener (start with 2 tablespoons maple syrup or to taste), 1 teaspoon almond extract (or vanilla extract), and a pinch of sea salt.
  3. Pulse until the mixture is completely smooth and well combined.
  4. For popsicles: Pour the mixture into eight 3-ounce popsicle molds. Freeze for at least 3 hours, or until solid.
  5. For a smoothie: Pour the mixture into a blender and blend until smooth. If too thick, add ice-cold water 1 tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached. For an extra flavor boost, add 1 tablespoon pomegranate molasses.
