Cherries and chocolate collectively in the identical recipe have all the time been a good suggestion. Once I was a youngster my go-to ice cream was Ben & Jerry’s “Cherry Garcia” which was chunks of cherries together with chocolate for an ideal match. Do you keep in mind that?!
Now that I am all grown up and nonetheless love this combo, I make this creamy, scrumptious and tremendous wholesome smoothie bowl with fantastic whole-foods primarily based elements!
This smoothie bowl is completely plant-based. Full of protein, fibre and nutritients to maintain you glad and energized!
You is perhaps questioning why add the zucchini?
Together with avocado, it’s the final secret smoothie hack for including creaminess and thickening it up with out sacrificing flavour. Zucchini is a superb low carb squash that’s wealthy in each soluble and insoluble fibre making it glorious for intestine well being.
You want each avocado and zucchini to make a thick smoothie bowl. If it is too skinny in consistency, then your crunchy and yummy toppings will sink proper to the underside!
There’s not a lot pondering required to make this recipe, plop all of the elements right into a blender, give it a blitz after which get artistic along with your toppings.
