Chocolate Cherry Smoothie
A creamy, decadent chocolate cherry smoothie that tastes like dessert but packs nutritious ingredients. Perfect for breakfast, snack time, or when you need a healthier way to satisfy chocolate cravings
Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen cherries
- 1 cup spinach
- 1 medium banana
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1-2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Begin with greens. Blend spinach and almond milk until completely smooth with no green flecks visible.
- Add frozen ingredients. Add cherries and banana to blender, pulsing a few times to break down the frozen fruit.
- Combine flavor enhancers. Add cinnamon and cocoa powder to the mixture.
- Blend until smooth. Process on high until everything is completely combined and silky smooth.
- Serve. Pour into your favorite glass, add optional toppings like a fresh cherry, and enjoy!
Notes
- Always use one frozen fruit for the perfect cold, thick consistency that makes this smoothie so satisfying.
- For a lower sugar version, swap half the banana for 1/4 avocado while maintaining creaminess.
- Any plant milk works well - try oat milk for extra creaminess or coconut milk for tropical notes.
