Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1 cup tart cherry juice
  • 1 small frozen banana

Superfood Boosters

  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon walnuts

Optional

  • 1 scoop chocolate protein powder

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Make sure the banana is frozen to give the shake a creamy consistency and chill the drink. Measure out the tart cherry juice, chia seeds, walnuts, and chocolate protein powder if using.
  2. Blend the Shake: Combine the tart cherry juice, frozen banana, chia seeds, walnuts, and optional chocolate protein powder in a high-speed blender. Blend until smooth and creamy, ensuring that the walnuts and chia seeds are fully incorporated.
  3. Adjust Consistency: If the shake is too thick, add a little more tart cherry juice or water and blend again until you reach the desired consistency.
  4. Serve Immediately: Pour the shake into a glass and enjoy immediately for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Frozen banana helps achieve a creamy texture without the need for ice, which can dilute flavor.
  • Chia seeds add fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, and help thicken the shake.
  • Walnuts provide a crunchy texture and healthy fats.
  • The chocolate protein powder is optional but recommended for extra protein, especially post-workout.
  • Consume the shake soon after blending for maximum freshness and nutritional benefit.
