Black Forest Smoothie; gluten-free, sugar-free, vegan and raw loaded with chocolate-cherry flavour. So easy, just measure and blend. Perfect as you run out the door or as a Mother’s Day breakfast idea from the kids – with love.
Ingredients
1 cup frozen cherries
2 Medjool dates, seeded
¼ cup rolled oats (gluten free if needed)
1 tablespoon chia seeds
2 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup unsweetened soy or vanilla almond milk
1 scoop of protein powder (optional)
1 –2 handfuls chopped kale or baby spinach (optional)
Instructions
Bang all the bits in a blender and blitz it on medium-high for about two minutes, until smooth. If you’re going to get all technical about it, start with the cherries, dates, oatmeal and chia in the blender first, this will help break up the solids better. Once blended, let stand for a couple of minutes, to allow the chia to help thicken slightly, so you can top off with a bit of chopped cherry and dark chocolate.
