The featured ingredient in this smoothie is the black cherry which is available in the late spring and early summer months. It’s a very special anticancer fruit in that it contains a wide variety of phytonutrients that protect the body from cancer, as well as actively destroying cancer cells that are present in the system.
Black cherries are also anti-inflammatory and help build the immune system which assists the body in fighting disease. The cherries combined with the other superfoods make this smoothie a naturally sweet SUPER cancer-fighter!
Additionally, dark cherries are rich in a unique antioxidant called quercetin! Quercetin has been shown to have a profound effect on reducing oxidative stress and preventing and reversing cancer cell development. As a result of its generous ability to share, quercetin has not only been characterized as an antioxidant, but also has anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory properties.
And, of course, what would a cancer-busting smoothie be without Moringa powder?!

A 2018 study published in Nutrition Journal found that cashews reduce the rick of colorectal cancer among women. They are also packed with protein, digestive enzymes, magnesium, and antioxidants! Goji berries are noted for their lycopene, which has antioxidant properties and anti-inflammatory effects.
Last but not least, and as a rule of thumb, remember that not all cinnamon is created equal. Most of the cinnamon found on grocery store shelves is a cheaper variety known as Cassia cinnamon, or Chinese cinnamon. Cassia cinnamon isn’t as potent or medicinally effective as true cinnamon, which goes by the name of Ceylon cinnamon.
For all recipes, please use fresh, organic, locally-grown ingredients whenever possible, including organic, non-irradiated spices. This will give you the maximum cancer-fighting benefits.
Enjoy!

I haven’t tried it yet but your cherry smoothy sounds delicately delicious. Thank you, Charlene, I can’t wait to try it.
Mark.
Thank you for this recipe, I will try this for sure. One question, why the black pepper? Isn’t that an irritant to the stomach lining. I would never think to mix fruit with black pepper
Hi Vera –
Great question!
Throughout history, black pepper has been used to treat many diseases including malaria, cholera, dysentery, and other digestive difficulties. It was used especially to fight infection, relieve pain, increase circulation, improve digestion, improve concentration, stimulate appetite, as an expectorant, and as an aphrodisiac.

Question: My husband had bladder cancer and we’ve treated it naturally and holistically for 12 months. His last CT and MRI and bloodwork show him clear. We will continue the protocol which includes all organic.
We’ve stayed away from all but a little amount of fruit for a morning smoothie and a small green apple for juicing. Will the cherries, orange and banana be too much sugar?
It looks very healthy and tasty and I’d love to try this!
Thank you!
Good question! I have been staying away from cherries also because of the high fructose content. Hope someone answers the question.
Awhile back I was diagnosed with pre-diabetes and had tingling sensations in my feet.
I used certain herbs and other nutrients to address my pancreas. Now I have a lot of fruit in my smoothies practically daily with no signs of pre-diabetes. I have found that fruit is a higher consciousness food and the sugar in fruit does not really affect any diseases. It is the processed sugar the is not beneficial.

Where can you find bananas that are non GMO.
The bananas in this country don’t even have seeds anymore.
This cherry and cashew smoothie looks so delicious. I should try it sometime.
Moringa sounds helpful, but, how do I know if it would interfere with the uptake of my Multiple Myeloma treatment? Ask my oncologist about it?
