Ingredients

1 cup cherries frozen
1 banana
2 tablespoons cacao powder
1 tablespoon ground flax seed
1 teaspoon Ceylon cinnamon
1 cup oat milk
Topping: choped dark chocolate, ground flax seed

Instructions

Add all ingredients in the blender. Note: add wet ingredients first for easier blending.
Mix everything at high speed until you get a smooth silky texture.
If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more liquid – milk or water. Blend again until everything is well combined.
Taste the smoothie and add additional sweetener if the smoothie is not sweet enough to your taste.
Transfer the smoothie into a smoothie glass.
Add topping: I used choped dark chocolate and ground flax seeds. Be creative here and add toppings you like.
Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Makes 1 serving that serves 1 person as a full meal, or 2 servings as a snack.

As a measure, I used US cup (240ml). Nutrition values are calculated without added toppings.

Substitutions

You can use any plant-based milk here except coconut milk. Cow's milk is fine.
Coconut milk won't work well here.
You can substitute ground flax seeds with hemp seeds or chia seeds.

Store in a glass jar with a lid or shaker and keep refrigerated for up to one day.
