What I eat in a day in the summer! Protein smoothie (no powder), cherry pie, Palm Beach

butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil provides a dairy-free option with similar texture.

sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Honey adds natural sweetness while brown sugar is often less expensive.

milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: water

Almond milk is lower in calories, while water can be used to reduce richness.

cherries

🥗Healthier: frozen cherries

💰Cheaper: canned cherries

Frozen cherries maintain flavor and are often more affordable.

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).

Prepare a pie dish by greasing it lightly with butter.

Mix flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.

In another bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Stir in vanilla extract and almond extract.

Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with milk, until combined.

Fold in the cherries gently with lemon juice and cinnamon.

Pour the cherry mixture into the prepared pie dish.

Spread the batter evenly and smooth the top.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.

Allow to cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar.
