This Cherry Chocolate Chia Smoothie is a great vegan breakfast or healthy snack! Nutritious and delicious, this Chocolate Chia Smoothie is the perfect way to fuel your day.
I don't know about you, but I can find a way to enjoy chocolate with just about anything. (Remember that salad I did with a Chocolate Vinaigrette?!)
I'll have to say one of my favorite pairings is chocolate and cherries.
I can still remember eating chocolate covered cherries as a child. So delicious...and so sinful.
Today, we are going to enjoy chocolate and cherries together in a smoothie that you can feel good about.
A Cherry Chocolate Chia Smoothie to be exact!
Not only is it loaded with goodness from the cherries and chia seeds, but I've stepped it up a notch by making it with ALOHA Chocolate protein powder.
Not only is Aloha protein powder delicious, but it is also free of GMOs, gluten, dairy, soy and artificial ingredients. Plant based and organic, this is pure, powerful nutrition.
I love giving my body what it needs - superfoods to help superpower me!

In addition to protein powder, ALOHA also offers bars and other nutritional products. I try to never leave the house without a bar in my purse - you never know when you are going to end up starving and out later than expected. I love knowing I've got pure nutrition in my bag!
You can find the ALOHA products at Target, or you can subscribe at aloha.com and have the products delivered right to your doorstep.

I've heard SO many good things about Ahola. I need a new protein powder. I used to use my hubby's stuff and let's just say it's not great. This smoothie looks soooooo tasty!

I love chocolate and I love cherries, but I've never tried anything with chia seeds before! This smoothie definitely sounds like it could be a healthier alternative to a milkshake 🙂

You do like chocolate! This does sound so delicious to drink right in the morning. I could even give this to my kiddos to get more protein in them!

I don't think I ever tried protein powder. I always assumed it would be full of preservatives. I will look for Ahola at Target.
Denea Duran
I am not a fan of Chia at all but this sounds great. I will have to look for this protein powder.
Roxanne
We love smoothies at our house, but we've never used a protein powder. I usually use nut butters for healthy fats and proteins. Especially for the kids.
Laura Londergan
wow this sounds really good. I mean who doesn't love the chocolate and cherry combo? it's so good
