Aceasta Smoothie cu ciocolată și cireșe 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 Smoothie cu spanac, ananas și banane, Smoothie de dovlecei, Smoothie cu Spirulina Albastra. 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.

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!
