Black Forest Smoothie Recipe

Black Forest Smoothie Recipe

 

This Black Forest Smoothie Recipe was born out of a lot of leftovers. I had made some coconut curry the day before and had some leftover coconut milk, I had an open bag of frozen cherries in the refrigerator, and the last of a big tub of spinach. This smoothie came out even better than I’d hoped. It’s a great blend of creamy, sweet and tart.

I wish I could report that no smoothies were harmed in the making of this blog post, but unfortunately, the smoothie pictured above met its demise shortly after I took this photo. Kidday asked for a sip of my smoothie lunch and no sooner did I say “Please be careful, it’s in a glass cup” than I heard a huge thud on the floor and saw a chocolate flavored Jackson Pollack gracing the canvas of our floor, stove and dishwasher.

Black Forest Smoothie Recipe

1 ½ cups full fat coconut milk (or milk of your choice)
2 cups frozen sweet cherries
1 medium banana
¾ scoop of chocolate protein powder (we use Vega Performance Chocolate Protein Powder)
1 cup baby spinach
1 tablespoon melted coconut oil

Put all ingredients except melted coconut oil in your high speed blender. Once blended, add in the melted coconut oil and blend again to incorporate.
