Serves: 1-2 servings
 
A surprisingly rich and indulgent smoothie, that is still healthy!
Ingredients
  • 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
  • 1 cup frozen pitted dark cherries
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 3-4 ice cubes
  • 1 tbsp miniature chocolate chips (optional)
  • stevia, to taste (if desired)
Instructions
  1. Combine the almond milk, frozen cherries, cocoa powder, ice cubes, and chocolate chips (totally optional, but add if you want extra chocolatey richness) in a high powered blender. Blend until smooth.
  2. Add stevia (or your preferred sweetener), ½ tsp at a time, blending after each addition, to desired sweetness.
  3. Serve immediately.
Notes
Use unsweetened almond milk to keep the calories down. If you use regular almond milk, you may not need any additional sweetener.
The ice is totally optional, but I add it because I like my smoothies to stay extra frosty.
The chocolate chips are also totally optional, and to be honest, this smoothie tastes rich and delicious without them.
Be sure to taste your smoothie prior to adding any sweetener. My fresh cherries were plenty sweet and did not require any additional sweetener.
