Why you'll love this chocolate cherry smoothie!
- Easy to Make: All you need to make this smoothie is a blender and 6 simple ingredients.
- Secret Ingredient: I've got a secret ingredient that I add to my smoothies to make them extra thick and creamy.
- Make it Year Round: This recipe uses frozen cherries so you can make it all year round!
Ingredients Needed
- Cherries: I'm using frozen cherries because this will make the smoothie super thick and creamy. You can also use fresh cherries if that's what you have on hand, but the smoothie won't be as thick.
- Cauliflower: this is the secret ingredient I love adding to my smoothies! It helps make it thick and creamy, plus you don't taste the cauliflower at all! I'm using frozen cauliflower rice. If you don't want to add cauliflower swap it out for a frozen banana.
- Milk: feel free to use whatever milk you like!
- Cinnamon: I like adding a pinch of cinnamon!
- Vanilla Extract: this is optional but I like to add a dash of vanilla extract. You can also add almond extract if you prefer.
- Chocolate Protein Powder: I usually have some chocolate protein powder on hand in my pantry, but in a pinch you could swap it out for cocoa powder!
Step by Step Instructions
Step 1: Place all of the ingredients in the blender.
Step 2: Blend until smooth and enjoy!
Expert Tips & Tricks
- Add more milk to the blender if you're finding it tricky to blend and the smoothie isn't as smooth as you would like. You can also add more milk if you want a thinner smoothie.
- Make the smoothie creamier by adding some Greek yogurt!
- You can add more greens to this smoothie by adding frozen spinach or kale.
- Serve the smoothie with some cocoa nibs or chocolate chips to get an extra chocolatey taste!
- I find this smoothie quite sweet, but if you want it sweeter, you can add a drizzle of maple syrup.
Storage
I recommend drinking this smoothie as soon as you've made it!
