Servings One (shiver)
Prevent the screen from darkening
- One cup Frozen Sweet Cherries
- 3/4 cup standard size ice cubes
- 3/4-1 cup Non-dairy milk (Regular, unsweetened // I like almonds)
- 1-2 Scoop Chocolate Protein Powder* (or substitute vanilla or unscented)
- 1-3 teaspoon cocoa powder (or cocoa powder)
- One A small handful Baby Spinach (optional // to supplement nutrition)
- One A large spoon Cashew butter (optional // for abundance)
- 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla extract (optional)
- 1-2 teaspoon maple syrup (optional // Include if using unsweetened protein powder // or substitute seedless dates)
- In a high-speed blender (or a small, powerful blender like a Nutribullet ), add the cherries, ice, non-dairy milk (start with a small amount), protein powder, and cocoa powder (a small amount if using chocolate protein, a large amount if using unflavored/vanilla protein). Optionally, add the baby spinach, cashew butter, and vanilla. If you want a sweeter shake or are using unsweetened protein powder, add the maple syrup (start with a small amount).
Blend on high speed until thick and smooth, adding more non-dairy milk as needed or using a tamper to aid blending. Taste and adjust as needed, adding more cocoa powder and maple syrup to taste.
Eat immediately (the texture and flavor are best when fresh) or freeze in ice cube trays, then blend and enjoy later, adding non-dairy milk as needed.
