Step 1
Start by tossing the cherries, almond milk, crushed ice, lime zest, lime juice, basil, and a splash of almond extract into your blender. Blend everything together until the cherries and basil are fully mixed and the smoothie feels nice and smooth. If you like it thicker, just add a bit more ice and blend again. On the other hand, if it’s too thick for your taste, pour in a little water and blend until it’s just right. Give it a quick taste and adjust the lime or sweetness if you want, then pour it into a glass and enjoy!
