Serving tip: Best eaten immediately. If needed, refrigerate the blended mixture promptly at0–5°C and use within24hours or an earlier ingredient use-by limit. Keep crunchy toppings separate and transport with an ice pack. Prepare larger households in separate two-serving blender batches. For larger households, repeat complete batches; extra sequential cooking adds another cooking cycle and preparing more fruit takes longer.

    Step 1

    Prep the ingredients

    For more than 2 servings, first divide all displayed ingredient totals into separate batches of no more than 2. Use each batch’s share of the displayed amounts in its own equipment. Peel and slice banana. Wash, pit and halve cherries, reserving 30g for topping. Use ingredients chilled from the fridge. Roughly chop all almonds and reserve for topping.

    Step 2

    Finish and serve

    Blend yoghurt, all banana, remaining 90g cherries for 30–45 seconds until evenly blended, switching the blender off before scraping down the sides as needed. Use a 1l blender jug with a working fill no more than 750ml, obeying its manufacturer’s minimum and maximum fill limits. If the mixture will not circulate, add up to all the listed cold water a little at a time. For smaller quantities use a suitable narrow beaker and stick blender with its blade head submerged.
