Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • ½ cup frozen cherries
  • ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • ½ tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tbsp honey or any preferred sweetener (optional)
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup ice cubes

Instructions
 

  • Place all the ingredients in a blender.
  • Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy.
  • If the consistency is too thick, add a little more almond milk. If it's too thin, add more ice cubes.
  • Pour into a glass and enjoy!

Notes

  • For a creamier texture, use frozen cherries instead of fresh ones. The frozen cherries also add a nice chill to the smoothie.
  • Adjust the sweetness to your preference by adding more or less honey. You can also substitute honey with maple syrup or your favourite sweetener.
  • You can add a teaspoon of unsweetened cocoa powder or a handful of chocolate chips to enhance the chocolate flavour.
  • If you don't have almond milk, substitute it with any other milk or dairy-free alternative.
  • Want to make it a protein-packed smoothie? Add a scoop of your favourite protein powder for an extra boost.
  • Get creative with toppings! Sprinkle some shaved dark chocolate, chopped almonds, or a dollop of whipped cream to take your Black Forest experience to the next level.
  • Don't have a high-powered blender? Start by blending the liquid and softer ingredients before adding the frozen cherries. This will help ensure a smoother blend.
  • If you prefer a thinner consistency, add more almond milk or water while blending until it reaches your desired thickness.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Give it a quick shake or stir before enjoying it.
