Dark Chocolate Cordial Cherry Smoothie

October 27, 2023

A delectable and nutritious treat that combines rich dark chocolate with the fruity delight of cherries. Begin with a cup of your choice of unsweetened milk to create a creamy and dairy-free base. To sneak in some veggies and add a frosty texture, include half a cup of frozen cauliflower and half an avocado, either fresh or frozen.

For an extra boost of fiber, add one to two tablespoons of psyllium husk, flax, or chia seeds. To enhance the collagen intake, mix in a scoop of unflavored collagen powder. To infuse the dark chocolate flavor, incorporate three tablespoons of cacao powder or unsweetened cocoa, along with a dash of pink salt for balance.

Top off this delicious concoction with a generous serving of frozen or fresh cherries, either blended into the smoothie or placed on top. Finally, add half to one cup of ice to make it extra refreshing.

The result is a Dark Chocolate Cordial Cherry Smoothie that's perfect for satisfying your chocolate cravings while enjoying the fruity sweetness of cherries. Indulge in the delightful combination of flavors and nutrients!

INGREDIENTS

1 c unsw milk of choice
1/2 cup frozen cauliflower
½ avocado, fresh or frozen
1 - 2 T psyllium husk, flax or chia seeds (optional extra fiber)
1 scoop unflavored collagen powder
1 serving chocolate protein powder
3 Tbsp cacao powder or unsweetened cocoa
dash pink salt
1/3 c frozen or fresh cherries~blended in or on top. I wanted to chew some so did 1/2 & 1/2.
½ - 1 cup ice

STEPS

The key to a thicker smoothie is frozen zucchini, or cauliflower (can’t taste these), and start with less milk. You can always add more water or milk later if it is too thick but you can’t take liquid away.
