Chocolate and cherries is a totally underrated food combination.

I would easily be happy with chocolate covered cherries over chocolate covered strawberries any day! This vegan chocolate cherry smoothie tastes like a chocolate cherry milkshake, but is packed with nutrients.

As a Registered Dietitian, I’m always encouraging clients to eat more fruits and vegetables. This chocolate cherry smoothie has a serving of both fruit and vegetables because it has frozen cauliflower and frozen cherries.

I promise, you can’t taste the frozen cauliflower once it’s blended into the smoothie – it’s also in my almond butter and jelly smoothie.
