The best ever cherry berry chocolate protein breakfast smoothie this image

Lately, I’ve had cherries on my mind.

We recently went on a little road trip to Northern Michigan where there were cherry trees/orchards everywhere (I’m going to be working on a post about the trip soon.) When we were on our trip, I couldn’t help but think of the summer of smoothies and salads and how cherries would be so amazing in smoothies (in the past I shared this green power smoothie that has cherries in it!)

Then I remembered how one of my employees at work was telling me about this awesome smoothie she used to make which was cherries, chocolate protein powder and almond milk – she said it was like a black forest cake in smoothie form!

The most delicious 5 ingredient breakfast smoothie

So when I was making my weekly smoothie packs (I like to make bags of the smoothie ingredients and then have them ready to go in the freezer) I made a chocolate protein powder smoothie and LOVED it.

I’ve tweaked the recipe to be a cherry berry chocolate smoothie with a small amount of greens in it, so it’s super healthy – and this smoothie only has 5 ingredients in it (cherries, berries, chocolate protein powder or cocoa powder, spinach and almond milk) so it’s a perfect 5 ingredient breakfast recipe!

While there are so many health benefits of cherries, my favorite one to note is that cherries are the only natural source of melatonin, a hormone that regulates the body’s internal block and sleep-wake cycle. So if you’re ever feeling “off” with your sleep cycles, try cherries to help regulate it.

The best and easy smoothie recipe with cherries and berries

To make this cherry berry chocolate smoothie recipe you can start with fresh or frozen fruit. I found a mix of berries and cherries at Target recently that I’ve been using in this smoothie which has been great, while other times I’ve pitted cherries and then frozen them.

Next time you’re looking for a super delicious and nutritious 5 ingredient breakfast, this cherry berry chocolate smoothie should definitely be on your mind!
