Chocolate Cherry Smoothie
Description
In this smoothie, frozen cherries provide a tart and sweet base complemented by chocolate protein powder and vanilla-flavored Greek yogurt, introducing both creaminess and body. Almond extract adds a subtle nutty note enhancing the chocolate and cherry flavors. The use of chocolate milk (such as Fairlife Chocolate Milk) ties the ingredients together with a consistent chocolate undertone.
The recipe suggests blending for 45–60 seconds until smooth, and scraping down the sides midway to ensure even mixing. Adding mini chocolate chips just before finishing gives a pleasant chocolate texture without fully blending into the smoothie.
The thickness can be adjusted by varying the milk quantity, making this smoothie suitable for drinking or serving as a thicker bowl with a spoon. It works well as a refreshing breakfast or a snack, especially in warmer months.
Notes include omitting chocolate chips for a simpler breakfast option and adjusting milk for consistency preferences.
Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen cherries medley
- ½-1 cup milk I use Fairlife Chocolate Milk
- 1 coop (30 grams) chocolate protein powder Clean Simple Eats
- ⅓ cup Greek yogurt Two Good, vanilla flavor
- ¼ tsp almond extract
- 2 tsp mini chocolate chips optional
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients to a high speed blender. Use the full cup of milk for thinner consistency.
- Blend on high speed for 45-60 seconds until smooth throughout or until all of the cherries are blended. Stop the blender once halfway through and use your rubber spatula to scrape down the sides.
- Pour into a glass and enjoy!
Notes
- Use less milk to create a thicker smoothie bowl consistency or add more for a drinkable smoothie.
- Add mini chocolate chips at the end of blending to retain textured chocolate pieces.
- Omit chocolate chips if making this smoothie for breakfast to maintain simpler flavor.
- Chocolate milk combined with chocolate protein powder provides a rich chocolate flavor.
