Ingredients

2 cups frozen Montmorency tart cherries

¾ cup dairy-free milk of choice (almond, coconut, or oat milk), plus more to thin if necessary

1 scoop your favorite protein powder (collagen peptides or plant-based protein powder work well)

1 tablespoon natural nut butter of choice (peanut, cashew, or almond butter)

Optional: 1 tablespoon cacao powder for a boost of iron

For the optional toppings:

1 tablespoon unsweetened coconut flakes

1 tablespoon mini chocolate chips or cacao nibs

½ tablespoon chia seeds

Drizzle of drippy nut butter

Granola (optional)

A few extra frozen tart cherries or dried tart cherries

Instructions

  1. In a blender, combine the frozen tart cherries, dairy-free milk, protein powder, nut butter, and optional cacao powder.
  2. Blend until smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, add a little more milk to thin it out until you reach the desired consistency.
  3. Pour the smoothie into a bowl.
  4. Top with your choice of toppings: coconut flakes, mini chocolate chips or cacao nibs, chia seeds, extra nut butter, granola, and tart cherries.
  5. Enjoy immediately, and feel free to mix and match your toppings for a little extra fun!

Notes

For added sweetness, you can drizzle honey or maple syrup into the smoothie bowl.

Use fresh tart cherries instead of frozen, but note that you might need extra ice or frozen fruit to achieve the right consistency.

Boost the protein by adding extra protein powder or including Greek yogurt.

Make it vegan by using a plant-based protein powder and non-dairy yogurt.

For extra creaminess, add a frozen banana.
