TIPS
Here are some helpful tips for you when making this cherry chocolate brownie shake.
- Use Frozen Cherries: This enhances the creamy texture and eliminates the need for ice.
- Blend For Longer: Ensures a smooth, even consistency, especially when using fresh cherries.
- Sweeten To Taste: Adjust the honey based on preference or replace it with maple syrup for a different sweetness.
- Enhance The Chocolate Flavour: Use dark cocoa powder for a deeper taste.
- Make It Extra Thick: Reduce the almond milk for a spoonable smoothie bowl topped with granola.
- Add Richness: A teaspoon of nut butter can create a more decadent, creamy texture.
VARIATIONS
- Higher Protein: Blend in a scoop of chocolate or vanilla protein powder for a protein boost.
- Nutty Twist: Add a teaspoon of almond butter or peanut butter for a richer taste.
- Dairy-Free Option: Use coconut milk instead of almond milk for a silkier texture.
- Extra Fruitiness: Mix in raspberries or strawberries for a berry blend.
- Spiced Version: Stir in a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for extra warmth.
- Dessert-Style Treat: Garnish with coconut whipped cream and grated dark chocolate.
