Dark Chocolate Cherry Smoothie

INGREDIENTS

• 2 cups frozen pitted dark cherries
• 1 cup plain greek yogurt, I like 2% the best
• 1/2 cup milk, I’m currently obsessed with cashew milk
• 1/2 cup ice
• 3 tablespoons hemp hearts
• 2 tablespoons almond butter
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened dutch process cocoa powder
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• half of the chai spice mixture below
• pinch of salt
• for topping: hemp heart sprinkles, frozen cherries, chocolate curls

CHAI SPICE

• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice

INSTRUCTIONS 

• Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until pureed. Taste and if desired, add more chai spice! If you want your smoothie sweeter, you can add a pitted date or two.
• Top the smoothie with extra hemp heart sprinkles, another cherrie or two, a few shakes of the chai spice and if desired, chocolate curls!
