Chocolate Cherry Smoothie diabetes friendly recipe

Chocolate Cherry Smoothie

Meets nutrition guidance set by the American Diabetes Association®

Would you ever believe a smoothie could taste like a chocolate-covered cherry AND fit into your eating plan? Well this chocolate cherry smoothie checks both those boxes. Unlike a chocolate-covered cherry, this smoothie contains no added sugars because it’s sweetened with zero calorie Splenda® Monk Fruit Sweetener. Add your favorite chocolate or vanilla protein powder for a protein boost, and get your fiber boost from the dark sweet cherries and chia seeds!
