I have always loved the combination of cherries and chocolate. I was craving something sweet, chocolatey, yet healthy, this afternoon, so I whipped this up. Ooh it's so yummy! All my fruit was frozen which made the smoothie so thick I had to eat it with a spoon (which really made it feel like dessert).
Do you keep your spinach in the freezer? I have been doing this for years. I buy a big container of fresh spinach and then pop it in the freezer....I love the texture this gives my smoothies.
Ingredients:
1 cup of plant milk (I used oat, but a creamy almond or soy would also be good)
1 Tbl cacao powder
1 large frozen banana
1 cup frozen cherries
1/2 cup frozen raspberries
2 handfuls of spinach
1 pitted date
1 Tbl hemp seed, optional
1 Tbl cacoa nibs, for garnish, optional
Directions:
Pour the plant milk in the bottom of a high speed blender. Add the rest of the ingredients through the hemp seed. Blend through at least two cycles to get it creamy (I blended mine three times - I also add three ice cubes). Pour into a glass and sprinkle with raw cocoa nibs, if you like, for some added texture. Enjoy!
