Ingredients
Directions
- Add ice, frozen cherries, Greek yogurt, protein powder, chia seeds, almonds, and xanthan gum (if using).
- Blend on high speed for 3–5 minutes until thick, creamy, and smooth.
- Add a splash of liquid to reach your desired texture—iced coffee or cold brew concentrate really enhance the chocolate flavor, but water works perfectly too.
- Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately for the ultimate cake-inspired smoothie.
Notes
- Protein swap: Use cottage cheese, silken tofu, or dairy-free Greek-style yogurt instead of regular Greek yogurt.
- Fruit swap: Frozen raspberries or blueberries can stand in for cherries while keeping antioxidants high.
- Fat/fiber swap: Ground flaxseed, hemp hearts, or walnuts can replace chia seeds or almonds with similar nutrition.
- Dairy-free option: Use a plant-based chocolate protein powder and non-dairy Greek yogurt alternative.
