Back in July, I got to tour a tart cherry orchard in Utah, Utah is one of the seven states where they’re grown in the US. I had no idea these little gems were grown so close to me! Not only was this trip informative and fun, but I learned how delicious tart cherries are!

From a nutrition perspective, Montmorency tart cherries have lots of anthocyanins, which potentially have effects on our sleep, exercise recovery, arthritis, gout, heart health, and gut health. It’s worth trying something with so many health benefits! And let me tell you, it’s worth continuing to include tart cherries into your eating patterns because they’re delicious! Make sure to pour tart cherry concentrate over frozen greek yogurt or ice cream.

How this tart cherry spritzer fits into my lifestyle 

As much as I love and rely on water, it can easily get boring. Especially on those hot days or days that I’m wanting to drink a lot. I’ve found that adding a splash of fruit juice to my water is a great way to add extra flavor. Adding tart cherry concentrate is awesome because it’s got a punch of tart cherry flavor. I’m all for homemade sodas, and this homemade tart cherry soda is as delicious as it is easy.

Since moving, dealing with work stresses, and weird temp issues in my apartment, I’ve been looking for ways to help me sleep. I started drinking this tart cherry spritzer before bed to help me sleep at night, and it’s actually helped me! Montmorency tart cherries are a natural source of melatonin, which helps regulate our internal clock. Since there are no risks of drinking a capful of tart cherry concentrate, and it tastes delicious, why not?!
