How to Make Chocolate Cherry Smoothie
Would you ever believe a smoothie could taste like a chocolate covered cherry AND be healthy for you? Well this chocolate cherry smoothie checks both those boxes. Unlike a chocolate-covered cherry, this smoothie contains no added sugars because it’s sweetened with zero calorie Splenda® Monk Fruit Sweetener. Add your favorite chocolate or vanilla protein powder for a protein boost and get your fiber boost from the dark sweet cherries and chia seeds!

Step-By-Step Instructions:
-
In a blender, add cherries, Splenda Monk Fruit Sweetener, cocoa powder, unsweetened nut milk, and protein powder if using. Blend on high until smooth and creamy, adding a splash more of nut milk if needed. Taste for sweetness level and add another packet of monk fruit sweetener if desired. Add ice and blend again until smooth.
-
Add in chia seeds and pulse blender. Pour smoothie into two glasses.
-
Sprinkle smoothies with a dusting of cocoa powder and enjoy!

NOTE: Swap out cherries for strawberries for a Chocolate Strawberry Smoothie. To meal prep ahead for the week, place ingredients for smoothie, with exception of nut milk, in a plastic baggie and store in the freezer. In the morning, empty contents into the blender, add milk, and blend until smooth.
