Chocolate Cherry Adaptogen Smoothie
This chocolate cherry adaptogen smoothie is a healthy treat, loaded with ingredients that are known to help promote an overall sense of well-being, and best of all, it’s incredibly tasty!
Equipment
- Blender
Ingredients
- 8-10 Pitted dark cherries (frozen)
- 2oz Tart cherry concentrate
- 1/2 cup Plant milk (preferably something containing protein, such as soy milk or Ripple)
- 1/2 cup Plant-based yogurt (If you don’t have yogurt, canned coconut milk also works great)
- 1/2 Banana
- 1/2-1 scoop Chocolate protein powder (equivalent to about 15 grams of protein, see note)
- 1 tbsp Cacao powder
- 1/16 tsp Rhodiola rosea
- 1/8 tsp Ashwaganda
Instructions
- Add cherries, juice, plant milk, yogurt and 1/2 banana to the blender. Pulse a few times.
- Add remaining ingredients and blend thoroughly. Add a handful of ice cubes before blending if desired.
Notes
The amount of protein powder needed will vary depending on the brand. I use VegaOne Sport, which contains 30 grams in a full scoop or 15 grams in 1/2 of a scoop. That brings the total protein content to around 20-25 grams, depending on the type of of plant milk, yogurt, etc. (That’s a great amount to have for breakfast.)
