Chocolate Cherry Delight Smoothie
Nicole J Corbo
Ingredients
- 1 cup cold almond milk
- 1/2 frozen banana
- 9 frozen cherries
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 scoop chocolate protein powder
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla
- 1/2 tablespoon pure maple syrup
- 1/8 avocado
Directions
- Blend all ingredients until smooth, 30 to 45 seconds.
For an added protein and probiotic boost, use plain, unsweetened yogurt instead of almond milk. You may need to add a little water to maintain a drinkable consistency. Swap the maple syrup for agave nectar or honey if you prefer. Try vanilla protein powder instead of chocolate for a different flavor profile.

This awesome smoothie is like having your cake and eating it too! Both healthy and super energizing, I felt like a queen drinking this smoothie. My daughter loved it and so did my husband. I substituted agave for the maple syrup and it was just sweet enough.
Katie Hason says:
I love drinking smoothies but sometimes run out of ideas. I really liked this chocolate and cherry flavor! I skipped the protein powder, but other than that didn't make any adjustments and it turned out perfect.
Laura Griffin says:
I love this chocolate cherry smoothie for breakfast or as a dessert. It's so delicious! Sometimes I even put it in the freezer. It's nice and creamy. Really good!
Jessica Scott says:
This chocolate cherry smoothie is a favorite! If you like chocolate and cherries, you will love this smoothie! I bet it also tastes delicious with strawberries? It doesn't even have to be summer for me to enjoy this, I eat it as a dessert instead of ice cream. Love it!
