Baobab Powder with Sweet Cherries<\/p><\/div>\n

For weeks the sun has pampered the cherries on the tree \u2013 by now they are dark, large and quite juicy. I am at my friends place to help with the cherry harvest. The cherries are sweet and some will end up in a new smoothie.<\/p>\n

Cherries usually ripen in June and depending on weather conditions, even till the end of August. Before I can process the cherries I have to remove all the stones. Otherwise they would be very tough on the blades in the blender. In addition the kernels contain hydrogen cyanide, which is toxic.<\/p>\n

Cherries contain minerals and vitamins. 100 grams provide approximately 12-15 milligrams of vitamin C. Despite the sweetness they are low in calories. They come with anthocyanins \u2013 a natural dye of the group of polyphenols \u2013 which are supposed to have positive effects on body cells. They are said to protect it against inflammation and premature aging.<\/p>\n

Baobab Fruit Powder and Cherries<\/p><\/div>\n

Apart from antioxidants and lots of fiber, the Baobab powder is rich in different vitamins, for example B-vitamins, vitamin C, omega 3, 6, 9 fatty acids, magnesium, iron, potassium, calcium and other minerals. Baobab can truly claim to be a super fruit. Baobab adds a slightly sour-lemony flavor to the smoothie.<\/p>\n

In order to get a get a creamy result, I add a banana and \/ or some soy yoghurt. In addition to potassium and magnesium the banana provides phosphorus, calcium, iron and zinc. It also contains vitamins A, C, K and various vitamins of the B group, especially B 6.<\/p>\n

I put all ingredients into a bowl, add some soy milk and mix everything with a blender. Now is the moment to find out whether I managed to remove all cherry kernels – if it clacks loudly in the bowl, a stone got crushed…<\/p>\n

As a tasty alternative to soy products you can use coconut milk and coconut yoghurt.<\/h2>\n
