AIP Friendly Coconut Cherry Smoothie
Rich, creamy, and bursting with deep cherry flavor, this smoothie is the kind of treat that feels indulgent even though every single ingredient is working hard for you. Full-fat coconut milk gives it a luscious, almost milkshake-like texture, while frozen cherries and banana add natural sweetness and a gorgeous deep-purple color. Vanilla powder — not extract — keeps things compliant without sacrificing that warm, aromatic note that makes this feel like more than just a basic blend. Smoothies can be a minefield when you're navigating a strict elimination protocol, since so many recipes sneak in yogurt, protein powders, or flavored milks that are off the table. This one sidesteps all of that with a short, clean ingredient list that comes together in under two minutes. A drizzle of honey is entirely optional if you want a little extra sweetness, but honestly the fruit does most of the heavy lifting on its own. It makes two generous servings, so it's perfect for a quick breakfast or an afternoon pick-me-up you can share.
