Is the vanilla protein powder essential for this almond cherry smoothie?

No, the vanilla protein powder is entirely optional. It's included for those who wish to add extra protein, but the smoothie is delicious and nutritious without it.

What type of almond milk works best for this recipe?

Unsweetened almond milk is generally recommended to control the sweetness of the smoothie, allowing the natural flavors of the cherries and spinach to shine.

Can I prepare this almond smoothie ahead of time?

For the best taste and texture, this almond smoothie is best enjoyed immediately after blending. If you must prepare it ahead, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for no more than a few hours.

Will I taste the spinach in this cherry almond smoothie?

The spinach in this recipe is typically well-masked by the strong flavors of the cherries and almond, contributing nutrients without a dominant green taste. You can adjust the amount to your preference.
