Advice
If using frozen cherries, let them thaw 5–10 min—they blend smoother and won’t seize the yogurt.
Why it works
Tart cherries + lemon keep the flavor vivid; yogurt adds creamy body and gentle tang; a pinch of salt sharpens fruit notes and balances sweetness.
Twist
Black-Forest vibe: add 1 tbsp (6 g) unsweetened cocoa powder and shave a little dark chocolate on top.
Status
Vivid, tangy, and creamy—this Sour Cherry Smoothie is Balkan summer in a glass. #grannyzen #balkansmoothie 🍒🥤
