Make a Smoothie with 7 Up and Cherries
Have you ever had a smoothie that just wasn’t sweet enough? Well, that is probably because you haven't made a 7 Up-maraschino-cherry-canned-pears kind of smoothie!
Ingredients
- 1 jar of maraschino cherries
- 1 can of 7 Up® (Sprite® works too)
- Canned pears
- 1/2 cup of ice
Steps
- Gather and prepare the ingredients listed above.
- Cut up the pears.
- Drain the juice out of the jar of cherries.
- Make sure the 7 Up or Sprite is cold as well.
- Put all ingredients into the blender.
- Use at medium speed and blend until it is at the desired consistency.
- Serve chilled in a glass and enjoy! If you like, you can top the smoothie with whipped cream and a cherry, and drizzle with strawberry or cherry sauce.
Tips
- You don't have to put the milk or water in like you would a "healthier" smoothie. That's what the cherry juice and 7 Up® is for.
Warnings
- If you are drinking this in order to get your daily calcium, or think it's nutritious, it's best to just use this on occasion or for dessert.
