Chocolate Cherry Smoothie Recipe

CHOCOLATE CHERRY SMOOTHIE

The ultimate recipe!

A few months ago I became obsessed with making the ultimate chocolate cherry smoothie recipe. I had never even had one in my life, but the idea came to me, and then I could not get it out of my head!

First, it took a while to find frozen cherries, but a hot tip led me to Costco . . . I actually had the bag of frozen cherries in my freezer for about a month while I tried them in different smoothie concoctions . . .but was pretty under-whelmed with what I came up with. Finally, I nailed it.

Voila! I am now am obsessed! My green smoothies are missing me at the moment cause I can’t stop making this one.

Plus the kids love it, so that always is a huge bonus as it’s always nice when I can make one big batch for us to share. After school, a chocolate cherry smoothie while we chat about our days, then head out for a bike ride . . . I can honestly say nothing makes me happier. :)
