Smoothies are my go to breakfast. There is nothing else I crave in the morning and I love how I can get my nutritional needs met before noon. This Cacao Cherry Green Smoothie with Banana and Avocado is my latest smoothie recipe and I think it is perfect for summer!

As with most smoothie recipes, this is made in your blender. I added a good mix of healthy fats, protein and fiber to this smoothie so it will keep you full until your next meal. I always add flax, chia and hemp seeds to my smoothies for their hormone balancing properties and nutrients.  I've found the banana and avocado combination also makes smoothies so creamy. Chocolate and cherries is also an amazing rich combo that tastes like you're having dessert for breakfast.

What protein powder do I use?

I have tried at least 10 different protein powders and my favorite is Sprout Living. I get the vanilla lucuma but all of the flavors are good! I love this one because it is a complete protein source with no fillers or gums. They also use things like real vanilla or cacao so the protein doesn’t taste like chemicals.

How do I store the extra smoothie?

Making a double batch of smoothie is a game changer. I store the extra smoothie in a mason jar in my fridge overnight. You can also freeze the smoothie in a mason jar and thaw it out when you are ready to eat it.
