Cherry-Mocha Smoothie

Ingredients

Directions

  • In a blender combine the cherries, almond milk, Greek yogurt, banana, cocoa powder, almond butter, espresso coffee powder and vanilla. Cover and blend until smooth.

Tips

Tips: Peel remaining banana half, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, then in foil. Freeze for a later use.

Tips

If you prefer, divide the ice cubes between two tall glasses instead of blending the ice with the smoothie. To serve, pour smoothie over the ice cubes.

Tips

Variation: This recipe easily doubles to make four servings. Make the full recipe at once, then pour into mason jars with tight fitting lids. Store in the freezer. The night before serving, transfer jar to the fridge to thaw.
