“When I was a teenager my go-to ice cream was Ben & Jerry's "Cherry Garcia." Now that I'm all grown up, I make this creamy, delicious and super healthy smoothie bowl with wonderful whole-foods based ingredients! Along with avocado, zucchini is the ultimate secret smoothie hack for adding creaminess and thickening it up without sacrificing flavour. Zucchini is a great low carb squash that is rich in both soluble and insoluble fibre making it excellent for gut health. I used my favourite protein powder, Genuine Health's fermented, organic vegan proteins+ chocolate! This is my go-to protein because it is excellent for gut health since all 7 plant proteins are fermented, making the proteins highly bioavailable.” -Joy
Ingredients:
2 cups fresh or frozen cherries, if using fresh, be sure to remove the pits before blending
Place all the ingredients excluding the milk into a blender. Add milk 1 cup at a time to desired thickness. You want the smoothie almost as thick as pudding so the toppings sit on top easily. Blitz until smooth and creamy.
Pour smoothie into bowl. Place desired toppings on top of smoothie bowl. Have fun!
