Blend smoothie ingredients together to create a thick and creamy texture (not too thin or runny as you want to eat this smoothie with a spoon). Add more almond milk or coconut water to thin.
Taste and adjust flavor as needed. Add more banana or cherries for extra sweetness. You may also add maple syrup or honey.
If looking for extra protein, add more yogurt, nut butter, or protein powder.
Pour smoothie into 1-2 bowls.
Sprinkle with desired toppings!
