Chocolate-Covered Cherry Smoothie
2012 June 4
It’s officially smoothie season! Smoothies are a great meal, snack or post long run recovery drink. While this one isn’t high enough in protein to be a recovery drink, it’s still full of healthy ingredients. It includes every runner’s favorite food in the post Born To Run era, chia seeds.
And every pms-ing woman’s favorite food chocolate (in the form of cacao).
It’s a chocolate-covered cherry smoothie!
Chocolate-Covered Cherry Smoothie Recipe
serves 1
- 10 ounces of your choice of milk (I used coconut milk)
- 1 frozen banana
- 1/2 cup frozen pitted cheeries
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon raw cacao
Put ingredients in blender and blend until smooth.
Additional variations: add one scoop of your favorite protein powder or 1 cup of greens for a boost of nutrients.

The chia seed rage seems to be pretty much over in the blog world…. but I still love them! Thanks for the recipe!
Yum! This sounds great! I’ve been into chia seeds lately, and I’m even putting them in Nick’s pancakes
muahaha And, as you might know, I add unsweetened cocoa to EVERYTHING!
YUM!!!!!!!!!!! Pin & tweet!
You had me at chocolate, and then cherry. OK this looks amazing!
Ditto on cherry and chocolate. Yum. Banana in that combination, not so much.
Sounds yummy
