Serves: 1
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup stemmed and pitted fresh cherries*
- 1 medium banana, broken into chunks and frozen
- ¼ cup unsweetened, plain or vanilla dairy-free milk alternative (I used cashew milk)
- ½ tablespoon cashew, almond, or sunflower seed butter or dairy-free protein powder (optional)
- 2-3 drops vanilla or vanilla cherry stevia, or desired sweetener to taste
- 1 tablespoon dairy-free dark chocolate chips (I used Pascha Organic 85% Cacao Chocolate Chips; use 55% for semi-sweet, or 100% unsweetened for paleo)
Instructions
- Place the cherries, banana, milk alternative and nut/seed butter or protein powder (if using) in a blender, and process until smooth and creamy.
- Taste test, and blend in stevia or desired sweetener, to taste.
- Add chocolate chips and pulse a few times with the blender, just to break them up and distribute.
- Serve with a spoon!
Notes
Frozen Cherries: If using frozen cherries, you will want to partially defrost the banana, use a fresh banana, or increase the liquid (to get things moving!) and sweetener, to taste.
