Black Forest smoothie

[feliciadawn 22]

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?

[feliciadawn 22]

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.

[feliciadawn 22]

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.

[feliciadawn 22]

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

[feliciadawn 22]

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
