Description

Tart, ruby-red sour cherries blitzed with thick Bulgarian yogurt—silky, cooling, and just sweet enough. 🍒🧊

Ingredients

  • 🍒 Sour cherries, pitted (fresh or frozen): 280 g (2 cups / 9.9 oz)
  • 🥛 Bulgarian-style yogurt (kiselo mlyako), full-fat: 300 ml (1¼ cups / 10 fl oz)
  • 💧 Cold water or milk: 100 ml (⅖ cup / 3.4 fl oz)
  • 🍯 Honey or sugar: 10–20 g (2–4 tsp / 0.35–0.7 oz) — to taste
  • 🍋 Fresh lemon juice: 10 ml (2 tsp / 0.34 fl oz)
  • 🧂 Pinch of salt: 0.5 g (⅛ tsp / 0.02 oz)
  • 🧊 Ice cubes: 6–8 (≈1 cup)
  • 🌿 Vanilla extract (optional): ¼ tsp (1.25 ml / 0.04 fl oz)

Preparation

Advice

If using frozen cherries, let them sit 5 minutes or microwave 20–30 sec—they blend ultra-smooth while keeping the smoothie icy-cold.

Why it works

Tart cherries + lemon sharpen flavor and color; a pinch of salt heightens fruit notes; the natural thickness of kiselo mlyako (with Lactobacillus bulgaricus) gives a clean, creamy body without heavy cream.

Twist

Breakfast add-in: blitz 20 g (¼ cup) quick oats for fiber and a thicker, shake-like sip.

Status

Ruby, tangy, spoon-coating—Bulgarian cherry yogurt bliss in one glass. #grannyzen #bulgarianyogurt 🍒🥤
