I’ve been loving this chocolate cherry combo for some time now. It tastes rich and decadent but it’s full of healthy ingredients! Combining frozen cherries with chocolate protein powder, spinach, and peanut butter, it’s the perfect combination.

If you haven’t tried spinach in your smoothies, you’re seriously missing out on some easy nutrition! You can’t taste the spinach no matter what kind of smoothie you put it in. It’s one of my favorite ways to get a serving or two of veggies for myself and my 4-year-old.

I love starting my day with a smoothie because I know I’m getting a super healthy and balanced meal in one glass. It’s super quick too and it’s kind of my secret to not overeating throughout the day. There’s just something about starting my day with a healthy protein smoothie that sets me up for success with my food choices for the remainder of the day.

I almost always start my smoothies with a base of almond milk, handfuls of frozen spinach, and hemp seeds. Then I add a healthy fat, in this case, peanut butter but avocado would be great too. Frozen organic cherries pair perfectly with the chocolate protein powder.

Because this chocolate smoothie is high in protein, it’s an excellent meal. I enjoy it as a protein breakfast smoothie because it keeps me full until lunch. But it’s also great as an on-the-go breakfast, lunch, or a filling snack!

Cherries not only taste amazing but they’re also packed full of antioxidants and powerful nutrients. Since cherries are the star of this recipe, let’s look at some of the wonderful benefits this fruit has to offer.

Nutritional Benefits of Cherries:

  • Packed with vitamins and minerals like Vitamin C, potassium, and magnesium
  • Rich in anti-inflammatory compounds
  • Can help in exercise recovery
  • Lowers cholesterol
  • Abundant in antioxidants
  • May aid in heart health
  • May improve with sleep

Proud of us💪🏽 trying my best over here inclu Proud of us💪🏽 trying my best over here including flexing that *discipline* muscle so things like working out become a habit again, no matter how crazy my day gets. 

Surprisingly, motivation isn’t always *there* especially when juggling kids/home/work/life and my workout is the first to get pushed aside. 

But I love working out, feeling strong and setting a healthy example for my kids that I deserve to take care of me too. 

The goal is always to feel my best mentally and physically which then pours into my family. Slowly but surely I’m determined to make my way back to ME 🤍
