Step-by-Step Instructions for Chocolate Cherry Smoothie
  1. Begin by gathering your ingredients and a high-powered blender. Add 1 cup of frozen cherries, 2 tablespoons of cacao powder, 1 cup of soy milk, and half a banana to the blender jar. Add a scoop of Vital Proteins collagen if desired.
  2. Secure the lid tightly on the blender and blend on high speed for about 1-2 minutes until smooth and creamy.
  3. Check the thickness of your smoothie. If thinner consistency is desired, slowly add more soy milk, about a tablespoon at a time.
  4. Once blended to perfection, pour your Chocolate Cherry Smoothie into your favorite glass and enjoy, optionally garnished with fresh cherries or cacao nibs.
