This  cherry protein smoothie combines frozen sweet cherries with a touch of mango, fresh lemon juice, chia seeds, and unsweetened soy milk for the ultimate creamy and smooth texture that’s both refreshing and indulgent.

The cherries are naturally sweet, and the lemon juice adds just the right brightness to enhance the cherry flavor without making the smoothie taste too sweet. The mango adds creaminess without overpowering the cherry, allowing the natural cherry flavor to shine through.

It took me a while to perfect this recipe, but I’m so glad I finally found a winner that tastes delicious. My little girl even loved this smoothie and asked  me to make it every day! It’s satisfying, packed with antioxidants, and has quickly become one of my favorite healthy cherry smoothies.

Additions and Substitutions

• Vegan option: Skip collagen peptides and add 1–2 tablespoon hemp seeds to keep it fully plant-based while maintaining protein and healthy fats.
• Pro tip: Blending collagen with plant based protein creates a smoother consistency and avoids the chalky texture sometimes associated with plant protein powders. Collagen blends seamlessly without altering taste or texture. I find using a full scoop of vanilla protein powder overpowers both the texture and taste of the smoothie; thus, I love using a variety of protein sources to create the best tasting cherry protein smoothie.

Fun Fact: Sweet cherries aren’t just delicious, they are powerful for inflammation support too. In a study on Bing sweet cherries, 18 healthy adults ate about 45 cherries a day for 28 days. Results showed a 25 percent drop in C reactive protein, an important marker of systemic inflammation, in about two thirds of the participants.

The effect faded once cherries were discontinued, showing that their anti inflammatory benefits depend on regular intake. That is one of the reasons why cherries are considered one of the top antioxidant rich fruits and a fantastic addition to an anti inflammatory diet.
