Chocolate-Covered Cherry Smoothie

It’s officially smoothie season! Smoothies are a great meal, snack or post long run recovery drink. While this one isn’t high enough in protein to be a recovery drink, it’s still full of healthy ingredients. It includes every runner’s favorite food in the post Born To Run era, chia seeds.

And every pms-ing woman’s favorite food chocolate (in the form of cacao).

It’s a chocolate-covered cherry smoothie!

Chocolate-Covered Cherry Smoothie Recipe

serves 1

  • 10 ounces of your choice of milk (I used coconut milk)
  • 1 frozen banana
  • 1/2 cup frozen pitted cheeries
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon raw cacao

Put ingredients in blender and blend until smooth.

Additional variations: add one scoop of your favorite protein powder or 1 cup of greens for a boost of nutrients.

    Yum! This sounds great! I’ve been into chia seeds lately, and I’m even putting them in Nick’s pancakes 🙂 muahaha And, as you might know, I add unsweetened cocoa to EVERYTHING!

    Ditto on cherry and chocolate. Yum. Banana in that combination, not so much.
