Smoothies are my go-to meal when I need something quick to fuel my day.

From my favorite quinoa smoothie, the refreshing cucumber apple smoothie, and this blueberry banana smoothie, I am never short on smoothie ideas.

This Cherry Chocolate Smoothie is one I turn to whenever I'm craving indugent flavors. It feels a bit like dessert in a glass, but with all the nutrition I need to fuel my morning.

Give it a try and make it a part of your daily routine!

Ingredients

Chocolate Protein Powder - This ingredient is the perfect way to impart an abundance of flavor and protein into your smoothie. If you don't have chocolate protein powder, feel free to substitute with cocoa powder, vanilla protein powder and a bit of your preferred sweetener.
Chia Seeds - These add loads of nutrients to your smoothie. Chia seeds are a fantastic source of fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, and antioxidants. If chia seeds aren't your thing, ground flaxseeds would work just as well.
Pitted Cherries - Cherries add a lot of sweetness. We love using frozen cherries as they make the smoothie thick. If cherries aren't in season and you can't find frozen, frozen strawberries are a great substitute as they pair beautifully with chocolate.
Almond Milk - Almond milk is the perfect base for our Cherry Chocolate Smoothie. It's light and dairy-free. Any non-dairy milk like coconut milk, oat milk, or cashew milk would work wonderfully too. Of course, regular dairy mix is also a great option.

Step by Step

Add all your ingredients into the blender and process until smooth.
Optionally, add ice and process again.

Storage

If you're looking to store these for later, not to worry! Here is how.

For refrigeration, pour the smoothie into a mason jar and keep in the fridge for up to 2 days.

If you need to store them for a bit longer, pour the smoothie into an ice cube tray and keep in the freezer for up to 3 months. When you are ready to enjoy your smoothie, add some milk to your blender and then the ice cubes and process until smooth. You will have a frosty treat to enjoy with almost no effort.
