Sweet cherries, almond, dark cocoa powder and a touch of coconut extract make this a luxurious post-workout protein smoothie or breakfast. Don't forget the extra cherry (or two) on top!
Put all the ingredients in a blender or bullet. Process until smooth, about 1 minute.
1 cup frozen sweet cherries, ¼ cup raw unsalted almonds, 1 tablespoon unsweetened dark cocoa powder, 1 scoop unflavored whey protein isolate, ⅔ cup unsweetened almond milk, ¼ teaspoon coconut extract
Notes
My two favorite unflavored protein powders are Isopure and Naked. For this recipe, I went with 1 scoop Isopure, if I had Naked I'd use 2 scoops get the same amount of protein.
