This Cherry Chocolate Smoothie is creamy, smooth, and luxurious. Full of dark chocolate flavor, mildly sweet with a hint of fruity freshness. It's also made with simple ingredients, without added sugars. Healthy and quite nutritious. Great breakfast option. V+GF
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!
