Ingredients

Greek Yogurt (Plain, Nonfat): A creamy and tangy base that adds protein and thickness to the smoothie. You can use any type of plain yogurt (dairy or non-dairy) such as almond or coconut yogurt for a dairy-free option. If you are not a yogurt fan, try subbing in cottage cheese.

Milk (Dairy or Non-Dairy): Adds creaminess and helps blend the ingredients together.
I opted for whole milk but you can use skim to keep the points as low as possible. Almond, oat, soy, or coconut milk are all great vegetarian options, depending on your dietary preferences.

Cocoa Powder: Provides a rich chocolate flavor without added sugar. For a lighter flavor, try using carob powder or a small amount of dark chocolate shavings.

Tahini: A smooth sesame paste that adds healthy fats and a nutty flavor to the bowl. Peanut butter, almond butter, or sunflower seed butter work well if you prefer a different nutty taste.

Protein Powder (Chocolate Whey or Plant-Based): Adds a protein boost to keep you feeling full longer and supports muscle repair. You can use vanilla or unflavored protein powder if you prefer. Vegan protein powders made from pea, hemp, or brown rice are also great plant-based options.

Frozen Cherries: These add natural sweetness, antioxidants, and a thick texture to your smoothie bowl. Frozen berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries) can be used for a different fruity flavor.

Place everything in a high speed blender (affiliate link). Blend on HIGH until smooth and creamy. Pour into a bowl and eat with a spoon to avoid having to count all the WW Points.

How I Make My Cherry Chocolate Protein Smoothie Bowl

Step 1: Gather your ingredients.

Step 2: Load your blender (affiliate link): I start by placing the Greek yogurt, milk, cocoa powder, tahini, protein powder, and frozen cherries into my high-speed blender. Blend everything on HIGH until smooth and creamy. You may have to use your tamper to push everything down into the blender. The frozen cherries give it a thick, indulgent texture, making it feel more like a dessert than a smoothie.

Step 3: Serve: I pour the smoothie mixture into a bowl, and I always eat it with a spoon. Not only does it feel more satisfying, but it also helps me savor the flavors, making it a more mindful and enjoyable experience.
