This cherry smoothie will provide you the same smooth texture and bold flavors with a lot less calories. Start by roasting a cup of cherries in the oven at 400 degrees. Add three tablespoons of sugar, a bit of water, a cinnamon stick and let them roast for about 30 minutes. Once they cool you can de-pit them and blend them with a cup of Greek yogurt, a cup of ice and [a dash of vanilla](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dirty-shirley-with-cherry-vanilla).
