I know there are a lot of recipes for chocolate-cherry smoothies out there, so maybe you already have a favorite.  I whipped this up in such a hurry, I wasn’t expecting anything great.  My smoothies are hit or miss.  They’re always good enough to drink but it’s not too often that I make a WOW smoothie.

I used a light bounce placed to the left, in the rest of the photos, with the light coming from the right.  You can definitely tell a difference from the above photos!

Oh yes, this chocolate cherry cake batter like smoothie!  I swear it tasted like cake batter.  Cold, cake batter.

  • 1/2 frozen banana
  • ~1c unsweetened almond milk
  • 1T chia seeds
  • 3T uncooked rolled oats

Dust the top with a little cocoa powder and whatever toppings you want.  So much more fun to top + eat with a spoon!
