Power Cherry Smoothie
Servings: 1
Tart cherry juice and frozen sweet cherries double up on flavor in this cherry smoothie, and frozen cauliflower makes it creamy. Chia seeds and collagen bring 25g protein and 12g fiber with no added sugar.
Ingredients
- 1 cup tart cherry juice
- 1 cup frozen sweet cherries
- ½ cup frozen cauliflower
- 2 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 serving collagen peptides
Instructions
- Pour the tart cherry juice into a blender. Add the cherries, cauliflower and chia seeds and blend on high until smooth.
- Add the collagen peptides and blend on low just until mixed in. Pour into a tall glass and serve immediately.
Notes
- Juice Swap: Pomegranate juice works in place of the tart cherry juice.
- Make It Sweeter: For a sweeter smoothie, add half a frozen banana with the cherries.
- Vegan Swap: Collagen isn't vegan. For a plant-based version, use 1 scoop of vanilla or unflavored plant-based protein powder instead.
- Storing: The chia seeds thicken the smoothie as it sits, so it's best fresh. It keeps in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours; stir in a splash of juice before drinking.
