Cherry Almond Cooler

I’ve always loved cherries.  Growing up they were an extra special treat, since they were usually expensive and they were only in season for a short time.  Luckily now, they can easily be found in the freezer section for a pretty reasonable price. 
This smoothie is very refreshing as a snack or for breakfast.  Include the almond butter if you want it to be a little richer and more filling as a meal.  It is delicious both ways.  Be sure to make extra for any cherry lovers in your life.  My first time making it, I had two.

¼ teaspoon almond extract

2.      Serve immediately and enjoy.
