    Cherry Mocha Smoothie

    This Cherry Mocha Smoothie is the perfect combination of fresh cherries, cacao, and coffee in smoothie form!

    Cherry Mocha Smoothie

    Who needs a cherry pitter when you can de-pit a cup's worth of cherries using your very own denticles?!

    Before man made cherry pitters, man made mouths capable of de-pitting even the peskiest of cherries.

    Picture me trying to make this recipe. Naturally, fresh cherries were on sale at Whole Foods Market Upper Arlington so I decided to use those instead of the super convenient frozen pitted ones because let's face it, cherries are freaking pricey.

    Cherry Mocha Smoothie

    So I literally measured out a cup of the cherries, gave them a wash, and then proceeded to remove the pit of each and every one by ripping off the stem and then breaking the cherry in half with my teeth. I wanted to eat each cherry. I probably accidentally on purpose ate half. It was like a giant cherry tease fest.

    In my next life, I shall buy a cherry pitter.

    Scratch that. In my next life, I shall use frozen de-pitted and de-stemmed cherries. WHY DO I ALWAYS MAKE THINGS HARDER FOR MYSELF.

    But seriously, how gorg are they? Who could resist that face? Not I.

    IMG_2703a

    So now that you're dying to de-pit cherries using your own chompers...ya right. Feel free to use frozen cherries and regular coffee (refrigerate it first so it's not hot) rather than fresh cherries and frozen coffee cubes. I haven't tried it this way, but I'm sure it would be just as delish.

    Cherries and chocolate are no ground-breaking combination. But cherries and coffee? I wasn't even sure if it would taste good. Low and behold, it tastes more than good. It tastes like dreams. And cherry cacao coffee fairy dust.

    Cherry Mocha Smoothie

    Frozen coffee cubes > cold coffee. Cold coffee > hot coffee. You know how it goes.

      That is the only way i know how to de-seed cherries haha. You definitely eat way more than you probably de-seed. I think I have swallowed about 4 cherry seeds in the past few days.

      I'm along myself the same thing - does cherry+code taste good?? Once I get my hands on fresh cherries (there aren't local ones available yet, only those imported -.-) I'll give it a try!

      This. looks. SSSOOOOO. good! In the summer all I want is a frozen coffee something so I'm always looking for different ideas. I was literally thinking about cherries and coffee just last week but don't trust myself enough to attempt to create a recipe. Thanks for reading my mind!

      Girl, your photos have improved SOOO much is such a short amount of time. I'm very impressed. Wish I had your skills.

      Did you create your backdrop or purchase it?

      Love the idea of a coffee smoothie 🙂

      😆 I've gone down the chomper pitter route before. IT didn't end well. I mean, I guess it depends on who you ask, but it -did- end up taking me twice as long since I ended up eating half of the cherries. They're just too good to resist!

      You and I are two birds of a feather, m'dear. I can't even BEGIN to tell you how many cherries I've pitted without a cherry pitter. It's like the smartest investment ever and yet, I still don't own one either. I'll pit all the cherries with my face for a chance to taste this sweet as sin healthy smoothie on my tongue buds. I need!

      I buy the frozen cherries from Costco and they are the BOMB...Picking out the seed of cherries for a smoothie is like me trying to cut up a mango. It's just a mess. I am definitely going to make this one morning, when I have some leftover coffee (which always seems to be rare...LOL)

      Fresh summer cherries are the best - this looks delicious. You might try this - I have one and use it a lot - of course you would miss out on the pleasure of eating half of each cherry you pit 🙂
