1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 Tbsp ground flax seeds

1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup milk (or non-dairy milk of choice)
Instructions
- Add the strawberries, cherries, Greek yogurt, ground flax seeds, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and milk to a blender.

Notes
Use frozen fruit for a thicker, colder smoothie.
Add a frozen banana for extra creaminess and natural sweetness.
Blend in a handful of spinach for additional nutrients.
Substitute almond extract for vanilla for a different flavor profile.
Add vanilla protein powder for extra protein.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours and stir or shake before serving.
If the smoothie thickens during storage, add a splash of milk and stir or blend again.
