Dark Chocolate Cherry Chai Protein Smoothie.
Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen pitted dark cherries
- 1 cup plain greek yogurt, I like 2% the best
- 1/2 cup milk, I’m currently obsessed with cashew milk
- 1/2 cup ice
- 3 tablespoons hemp hearts
- 2 tablespoons almond butter
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened dutch process cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- half of the chai spice mixture below
- pinch of salt
- for topping: hemp heart sprinkles, frozen cherries, chocolate curls
chai spice
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until pureed. Taste and if desired, add more chai spice! If you want your smoothie sweeter, you can add a pitted date or two. I find that the frozen cherries I buy (from Trader Joes) are pretty sweet and get the job done.
- Top the smoothie with extra hemp heart sprinkles, another cherrie or two, a few shakes of the chai spice and if desired, chocolate curls!
