Serves: 1

Ingredients
For the smoothie bowl:
2 cups frozen Montmorency tart cherries
3/4 cup dairy free milk of choice (almond, coconut or oat milk), plus more to thin if necessary
1 scoop your favorite protein powder (I like collagen peptides or plant based protein powder)
1 tablespoons natural nut butter of choice (I love peanut, cashew or almond butter)
Optional: 1 tablespoon cacao powder for a boost of iron
For the optional toppings:
1 tablespoon unsweetened coconut flakes
1 tablespoon mini chocolate chips or cacao nibs
½ tablespoon chia seeds
Drizzle of drippy nut butter
Granola if you’re feeling fancy
A few extra frozen tart cherries or dried tart cherries if you have some on hand!

Instructions
1. To make the smoothie bowl: add tart cherries, milk, protein powder, nut butter, and optional cacao
powder to a high-speed blender. Blend on high until ingredients are well combined. You may need to add
more milk, but since this is a smoothie bowl, we want it pretty thick. I think ¾ cup is perfect.
2. Pour into a bowl and top with coconut flakes, chocolate chips, chia seeds and a few tart cherries. Enjoy!
Serves 1.

Notes
Feel free to add 1-2 cups organic spinach to the smoothie if you want to get some greens in. The smoothie will
likely turn a brownish color though.
