Make Black Forest Smoothie: A Simple Method
- Start by collecting all your ingredients and tools. Having everything ready will streamline the blending process.
- In your high-speed blender, combine the frozen banana, almond milk, frozen cherries, cocoa powder, and a pinch of sea salt. Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, about 30-60 seconds.
- If the smoothie is too thick, add more almond milk, one tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
- Pour the smoothie into serving glasses or bowls. Top with coconut whipped cream, a drizzle of chocolate syrup, and a sprinkle of diced cherries.
Notes
- Use light coconut milk instead of coconut whipped cream to lighten the smoothie.
- Substitute frozen cherries with fresh cherries and add ice for a refreshing twist.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours; freeze in ice cube trays for longer storage.
