Step-by-Step Instructions

Gather all the ingredients for your Chocolate Cherry Green Smoothie: almond milk, frozen cherries, frozen banana, spinach, protein powder, cocoa powder, ground flaxseed, sweetener, and ice if desired.
Add the almond milk into the high-speed blender, then the frozen cherries, banana, spinach, protein powder, cocoa powder, and flaxseed. Blend starting at low speed, gradually increasing to high for 30-60 seconds until creamy and smooth.
If the blend is too thick, add more almond milk and blend for 10-15 seconds. For a thicker smoothie, add more frozen fruit or ice.
Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness with your chosen sweetener, blending again briefly after each addition.
Pour the finished smoothie into your glass and enjoy while fresh.
