    We started drinking cherry juice a few months ago and it comes from Traverse Bay foods and it comes in a concentrate. In fact I just entered the recipe in a smoothie contest this week. My husband really like it so I thought I would share it with you...

    Cherry/Banana Delight Smoothie

    2- Tablespoons of cherry juice concentrate

    1- 6 oz. cherry yogurt

    1- banana, 1/2 goes into the drink and you can slice up the others on top...it is so pretty if you put them over the glass or just float them in the top of the drink

    1/2- teaspoon of honey

    8- ice cubes

    This makes about 1 1/2 cups of the smoothie...

    Put the ice cubes (8) in the blender first
    add the cherry juice concentrate
    slice up the banana half
    add the 1/2 tsp. of honey

    ***turn the blender on just to chop the ice...a few ice chunks is fine, just be careful when your drinking it...Enjoy

    Our cherry juice is tart and we love it tart but the honey and banana add just the right amount of sweetening to the smoothie.

    The good part is that it is good for you ..We made up another one with Blueberries and fruit cocktail and yogurt....both were pretty good but I like the cherry one the best.
