Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups frozen cherries (sweet or tart)
  • 1/2 cup silken tofu (drained; soft or extra-soft works best)
  • 1 to 1 1/4 cups milk of choice (almond, oat, soy, or dairy)
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (or cacao powder)
  • 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1–3 teaspoons maple syrup or honey (optional, to taste)
  • Pinch of salt (enhances chocolate flavor)
  • Optional add-ins: 1 tablespoon cacao nibs or mini chocolate chips, a handful of spinach, or a scoop of ice for extra thickness.

Instructions
 

  • Add liquids first: Pour 1 cup of your milk into the blender. This helps the blades catch the frozen fruit easily.
  • Layer in the base: Add frozen cherries, silken tofu, cocoa powder, ground flaxseed, vanilla, and a pinch of salt.
  • Blend until smooth: Start on low, then move to high. If it’s too thick, add more milk a splash at a time.
  • Taste and sweeten: Blend in maple syrup or honey, 1 teaspoon at a time, until it hits your preference.
  • Optional extras: Pulse in cacao nibs or chocolate chips at the end for texture. Spinach blends in invisibly if using.
  • Serve immediately: Pour into a chilled glass and enjoy, or top with a sprinkle of cacao nibs.
