Choco-Cherry Vegan Shake

This Choco-Cherry Vegan Shake is sweet, healthy & decadent smoothie/milkshake that you’ll absolutely love!

Vegan| Gluten Free | Soy-free

Packed with powerful antioxidants, fibers, plant-based proteins, and most importantly, no added sugars, this smoothie is guaranteed to satisfy your sweet tooth while still being completely healthy. This is my favorite breakfast smoothie for several reasons: 1. Chocolate (obvs), 2. Keeps me full for a really long time, and 3. (I think) Cherries are my favorite fruit.

I think I don’t acknowledge cherries as much on my blog because they’re really hard to find here; I mean, I haven’t seen them in bulk in over a year. I would honestly prefer buying them in bulk, pitting them, and then freeze them. For now, I’m sticking to buying them frozen.

Now I would have this smoothie every day, but I kind of don’t want to ruin its magic, so I only have it on the weekends. And by magic I mean it’s richness and heavenly creaminess. I find it to be a super filling, gives me tons of energy, and it keeps my chocolate craving in check. For me, it works amazingly well as a breakfast, but it can also work as a healthy snack, for a post-workout boost or good-night meal.

For this smoothie, I used frozen bananas as a base for natural sweetness and it also gives it the creamy texture. I also used frozen cherries, raw cacao powder, chia seeds and cacao nibs, that enriched the smoothie with antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals.

Notes:

• Want more nutrition? Try adding ¼ cup of oats.
• Want less chocolaty flavor? Just add 1 tbsp of cacao powder instead.
• Want more heavenly creaminess? Add 2 bananas instead of  1½.
• Don’t like the banana flavor? Switch for your favorite vegan vanilla ice cream!
