Equipment

  • Blender I use Vitamix, but any will work. A less powerful blender may need a longer blend time.

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup Plain Greek Yogurt
  • 1/4 cup 100% pure whey protein isolate
  • 1/4 cup dark chocolate almond milk
  • 1 cup frozen pitted black cherries
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1 tbsp Truvia or other natural sweetener
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Place all ingredients into a blender and blend on high until smooth.

Notes

  • There are plenty of stevia based sweeteners out there. I always recommend checking a conversion chart because they are not all created equally. Truvia is twice as sweet as sugar. If you don't care about the sugar, use 2 tablespoons of honey.
  • Use the fine side of a grater, or a microplane to 'shave' or grate some dark chocolate on top of the smoothie as a garnish. I prefer 80% dark, use your favorite.
  • For Trim Healthy Mama, use unsweetened Almond Milk in place of the dark chocolate almond milk as it has sugar in it. Or, leave it out completely.
