Our newest smoothie creation replicates the flavors of our all-time favorite Black Forest Cake. The combination of chocolate and cherries is terrific! This recipe is practically fat free and cholesterol free, using skim milk and nonfat Greek yogurt. Because I use sour cherries, I added a bit of sweetener, the amount of which you can adjust according to individual taste.
Ingredients: (2 cups)
1 cup frozen pitted sour cherries
1/2 cup skim milk
1/2 nonfat Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons Cocoa powder
3 tablespoons sugar (or 2 tablespoons of agave syrup)
Splash of kirsch liqueur (optional)
Directions:
Combine all of the ingredients in a blender and puree until smooth (or use immersion blender). Add any additional sugar to taste and pour into glasses.
(Optional) For a touch of decadence, add a dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle with chocolate shavings.
