Description

This deliciously creamy chocolate smoothie is rich in feel-good nutrients and tastes like a chocolate-covered cherry! Try it with vanilla protein powder for extra flavour and protein or throw in a couple sweet, caramel medjool dates for sweetness.

1 1/2 cups frozen pitted cherries (210 g)
1/2 a small frozen banana (50 g)

Instructions

Add all ingredients to a blender and mix until smooth and creamy. If you’re using a Vitamix, about 30 seconds should do it, if not, let it blend a little longer until it’s completely blended and nice and smooth.
Pour into a glass and enjoy.
