Chocolate Cherry Smoothie (vegan option, gluten-free)
Servings 1 smoothie
Chocolate cherry smoothie made with yogurt, banana, cocoa powder and tart frozen cherries! Vegan and dairy-free option and naturally gluten-free.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (120 grams) yogurt I used coconut milk yogurt for a vegan and dairy-free version
- 1/4 cup (35 grams) pitted frozen tart cherries
- 2-3 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 small or medium banana mine was 147 grams with the peel and 95 grams without the peel
- 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup optional, to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- pinch salt this enhances the chocolate flavor
Instructions
- Blend everything (start off with 2 tablespoons cocoa powder) together in a blender until smooth. Add more cocoa powder, if desired. Serve.
Notes
- How much cocoa you use will depend on exactly which cocoa powder you use and how dark you like your chocolate. I used raw cacao powder and 2 tablespoons + 2 teaspoons cacao was perfect for me. If you use Dutch-process cocoa powder, you may need less. Also note that if you use Dutch-process, your smoothie will be a much darker brown, more like the color of dark chocolate, and not reddish like mine.
