Cherries and chocolate are a delicious pairing, so this smoothie gives you the best of both worlds! Frozen cherries make it easy to prepare, so you won’t have to remove cherry pits before getting started.
Add the frozen cherries, banana, raspberries, cacao powder, vanilla extract, collagen (if using), and milk to a high-speed blender. Secure the lid and blend until the mixture is smooth.
Once everything is blended smoothly, taste the mixture and make any adjustments needed. You can add a teaspoon of maple syrup for a sweeter taste, or a little extra cacao powder for more chocolate flavor. Then serve the smoothie right away for the best texture.
Notes
Nutrition information is for the whole batch. This is automatically calculated using generic ingredients from a database, so it's just an estimate and not a guarantee. Flavor Variation: For a cherry almond flavor, substitute the vanilla extract with 1/4 teaspoon of almond extract. Vegan Note: For a plant-based smoothie, use your favorite dairy-free milk and add hemp hearts instead of collagen for protein.
