Directions

1. Add all ingredients to a blender: 1½ cups coconut water, 1 cup aloe vera juice (or substitute with green tea, additional coconut water, or filtered water), 1 lime peeled (use whole lime for stronger flavor, or just the juice for lighter), ½ cup pitted cherries (fresh or frozen), ¼–½ teaspoon salt, and 1–2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste).
2. Blend on high speed for 30-45 seconds until completely smooth and the mixture is a **rich, opaque vibrant cherry red** color.
3. Pour the mixture over ice through a fine mesh strainer to remove any remaining pulp or cherry skins.
4. Garnish with fresh cherries and lime slices.
5. Stir and enjoy immediately!
