هذه سموثي الشوكولاتة والكرز is a thick and creamy chocolate smoothie packed with cherries. It has the most delicious chocolate cherry flavors, like a black forest dessert, but in healthy drinks packed with spinach and chia seeds to energize you.
I love making healthy smoothies, in particular the ones that hide high-nutrient ingredients like my سموثي السبانخ والأناناس والموز, سموثي الكوسا أو عصير سبيرولينا الأزرق. They are delicious, healthy, and super quick to put together.
Frozen cherries in smoothies are my new obsession and especially with chocolate. The chocolate cherry combination is the most decadent dessert-like flavor, reminding me of a black forest cake. The best part is that cherries are also packed with antioxidants like beta carotene, low in calories, and rich in fiber. In smoothies, cherries add the same creamy, thick texture as bananas. Their taste is light and delicate but irresistible.

What Is A Chocolate Cherry Smoothie?
A chocolate cherry smoothie is a delicious, sweet chocolate smoothie packed with frozen cherries, spinach, and chia seeds.
It’s filling, healthy, packed with antioxidants, fiber, and vitamins, and has a delicious dessert flavor that reminds you of a black forest cake.
المكونات والبدائل
All you need to blend together, are the following:
- Frozen Pitted Cherries – They’re generally much cheaper than fresh ones.
- Fresh or Frozen Banana – You may need more plant-based milk if using frozen banana because it thickens the smoothie recipe making it more difficult to blend.
- سبانخ صغيرة or trimmed kale leaves. This brings many vitamins and minerals without changing the deep red color of the smoothie.
- شيا البذور for added healthy fats and omega-3 fatty acids.
- حليب اللوز or any non-dairy milk, like coconut milk, oat milk, or soy milk, increases the proteins in the smoothie and makes it more filling.
- مسحوق الكاكاو غير المحلى – You can also use cacao powder or carob powder if you have a chocolate allergy.
- زبدة الكاجو or other nut butter like almond butter or peanut butter.
- خلاصة الفانيليا – من أجل المذاق.
How To Make A Chocolate Cherry Smoothie

- In the jug of a high-speed blender, place all the chocolate cherry smoothie ingredients in no particular order.

تنويعات النكهة
You can use this recipe to create a range of healthy chocolate cherry smoothies. For example, feel free to add in the following:
- مسحوق البروتين – Add one scoop of vanilla or chocolate protein powder to make a chocolate cherry protein smoothie. Also, increase the milk by 1/4 cup to 1/3 cup, or the texture might be too thick.

بدائل الحساسية
Below are some ingredient substitution ideas if you need:
- فواكه مجمدة – You can use fresh cherries if they are in season. However, the smoothie won’t be as thick and creamy. If you choose fresh cherries, add a frozen banana to thicken the recipe. Also, for a frothier texture, add 1/2 cup of ice cubes to the blender.
- خالي من المكسرات – Swap the almond milk for oat milk or coconut milk. Replace the nut butter with sunflower seed butter or plant-based yogurt like coconut yogurt.
- بذور الشيا الخالية من البذور – Swap the chia seeds for ground flax or leave them out entirely.

Delicious! Instead of the maple syrup I used 2 dates and made it low fat by substituting the cashew butter for cashew powder. I also added gluten free oats and 2 handfuls of spinach. Loved it and will be making it again! Next time I will freeze into ice cubes and make ice cream with it in my yonanas ice cream machine. Thank you for the recipe!
My husband and I lioved it! We switched the cherries for frozen blueberries, almond butter for the cashew, soy instead of almond milk, and added a tablespoon of maple syrup. Thank you for your considerate allergy and chia substitution ideas. We do not have any allergies to nuts. In fact, I topped this off with sliced almonds. Yum!
