Cherry Chocolate Smoothie
Description
Cherry Chocolate Smoothie combines frozen cherries and banana with cocoa powder and peanut butter, creating a thick, flavorful beverage. The cherries contribute tart fruitiness, while the banana adds natural sweetness and creaminess. Cocoa powder introduces a subtle chocolate note that pairs well with the nutty richness of peanut butter.
Plant-based milk is used to adjust the smoothie’s consistency, starting at half a cup and increasing as desired. The ingredients blend to a smooth texture, making it suitable as a filling breakfast or snack.
For those using standard blenders, starting with liquids and softer ingredients helps achieve a smoother blend. The recipe allows customization, such as adding ice cubes or oats for thickness or replacing banana with frozen cauliflower for a lighter version.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Cherry frozen, of
- 1 large banana frozen or fresh, ripe
- 1 tablespoon peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon cocoa powder
- ½ cup plant-based milk to ¾ cup of
Instructions
- In a high-speed blender, combine the frozen cherries, banana, peanut butter, cocoa powder, and plant-based milk, and blend until it’s completely smooth. Start with ½ cup of milk and if you want a thinner smoothie, add the remaining ¼ cup.
- Note: If you’re using a standard blender (instead of a high-speed blender), start with the plant-based milk and ¼ cup of the cherries and slowly add in the rest of the ingredients. It’ll be easier on your blender.
Notes
- Adjust smoothie thickness by adding more plant-based milk for a thinner texture or ice cubes and ground oats for thickness.
- Substitute half or all the banana with frozen cauliflower for a lighter smoothie and modify liquid amounts accordingly.
- For best blending results, add liquids and soft ingredients closest to the blender blades first, especially in standard blenders.
