Black Cherry Chocolate Smoothie

This is one of my all time favorite smoothies, and is always in my breakfast rotation. Bursting with  cherries and chocolate I can think of no better way to start my day. This smoothie is rich and decadent and loaded with antioxidants.

Sunwarrior's Warrior Blend, made from a combination of pea, cranberry and hemp protein is slightly  cakey and earthier than the Classic brown rice protein. Which I actually really enjoy in this smoothie, but I do like to alternate between the two.

I like this smoothie on the thicker side so I scale back a bit on the water and am pretty generous with the rest of the ingredients (especially the cherries and protein :)

Black-Cherry Chocolate Smoothie

1 scoop of sunwarrior chocolate Warrior Blend or Classic Protein
1 heaping TBSP raw cocoa powder
1/2 frozen banana
1/2 cup frozen cherries
1/2 cup frozen blackberries
3/4 - 1 cup water

Combine all ingredients and blend for a good 2 minutes or so.

Note: For a creamy fruity "milkshake" replace the water with fresh almond or brazil nut milk.
