Tart and fruity with a clear cherry flavour and a light, earthy green undertone.
Morello cherries are a sour cherry variety that is mostly sold preserved in jars in Germany, which makes this smoothie easy to prepare all year. They taste intensely fruity and tart, and together with their juice they dominate both the flavour and the colour. Kale contributes vitamin C, vitamin K and fibre, baby spinach a milder green note. The result is a deep red, fruity smoothie with a hidden portion of greens.
Yes, pitted fresh or frozen sour cherries work; add a little honey or sweeter fruit.
Hardly; the cherries dominate.
