About This Recipe
You can find fresh cherries in season at your local supermarket. Remove pits from cherries and freeze them for later use. Chocolate and cherries are a great combination that we used in this smoothie. Chocolate cherry smoothie is a snack rich in nutrients. Cherry with its unique flavor is a good source of fiber and vitamin C.
What You Need to Make Chocolate Cherry Smoothie
- Cherry: Pit cherries and freeze overnight.
- Banana: Bananas can be frozen or added to a smoothie at room temperature if you do not like your smoothie to have an icy texture.
- Milk: You can use both vegan milk and dairy milk to make this smoothie.
- Sweetener: I prefer to use honey or maple syrup.
- Cocoa powder: Use high-quality cocoa powder for the best flavor.
Pro Tips to Make Chocolate Cherry Smoothie
- Provide a strong, high-speed mixer. Because the conventional blender can not crack the pieces of fruit and ice as well.
- The main ingredients of each smoothie are fruit, liquids (water, juice, milk) or yogurt, and ice. Put all these ingredients in a mixer and turn it on to mix them up.
- If you have enough time, put the fruits in the freezer before you make the smoothies. Otherwise, you should add more ice to the mixer.
- Instead of using cow milk, you can use coconut or hazelnut milk.
- Most of the smoothies have a little honey (about a teaspoon). But you can use maple or sugar syrup instead of honey.
