What’s Your Favourite Cherry Delight?

We've teamed up with the cherry experts, CMI, to bring you our favourite recipes. Now we want to see yours.

We love baking ride goodies to fuel us for our cycling adventures, and we also love making recovery creations for the post-ride fill-up too. This summer we’ve fallen in love with the highly underestimated fruit: cherries.

Having teamed up with the cherry experts, CMI, we’ve learnt that not only do they taste good, there’s a wealth of nutritional and body benefits to be gained by introducing these little red orbs into your diet.

With the expert’s help, we’ve been busy baking a number of delicious cherry recipes to boost your pedal power, and soothe your aching muscles whilst remaining healthy and easy to make.

We’ve rounded up our favourite CMI approved recipes for you to try at home. We’d also like to hear your recipes – so pop them in the comments at the bottom of the page!
