Black Forest smoothie



Recommended Posts

This is a recipe I created based on a mocha I used to love when I lived in Oregon.

1 cup frozen cherries

2 cups milk (whatever kind you like)

1 Tbsp cocoa powder

1/2 cup coffee to taste (I like a strong coffee flavor) or 1 tsp instant coffee granules

1 tsp amaretto coffee creamer or flavoring(more if you like it sweeter)

1 scoop Protein Powder

Blend and enjoy!

By chance, do you have the nutrition table for this smoothie? Also, I'm not a fan of coffee, can that be replaced w/ something else?

Hi sorry I don't know what the nutrition facts are altogether. I added each ingredient into my app separately. It will depend on what kind of milk you use and what kind of Protein Powder. You can just leave the coffee out if you don't like it and it should still taste good

I made a nutrition label with basic information, OP didn't really provide much to go on like the type of milk or anything else.

Depending on the ripeness of the cherries it can add more calories. I wouldn't spend my macros and calories on this, I would still be hungry. liquids do nothing for me.

It looks very delicious, but the carb and sugar count is a bit too high for me. I'm sure there is something like it, that'll fit w/in my "safe zone". Thank you so much for sharing!

I used to add like 1 strawberry to a shake. I don't see why anyone would need a cup. Also if you are going to use Protein powder, why use milk? You can just use Water. There are so many ways to cut the calories and carbs on this.

Still I don't drink my calories so it is a no from me dawg.

Dawg? Really? Jesus. Actually the calorie count is more like 350 and it's a Meal Replacement for pre or post surgery when you can't eat. Get over yourself.

I posted the recipe because I thought it was unique and tasty. Not for criticism, but thanks anyway.

Cherries are one of the healthiest things you can eat. There are about 100 calorie in an entire cup. I'll take those calories and enjoy my fruit, thank you very much

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
