How to Make a Chocolate Cherry Protein Shake
  1. Begin by combining the chocolate milk, chocolate protein powder, frozen cherries, banana, and honey in a blender. Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy, around 30-60 seconds.
  2. Toss in the ice cubes and blend again until the mixture reaches your desired thickness. For a frostier shake, feel free to add more ice to the mix!
  3. Give your shake a taste. If you prefer it sweeter, add a bit more honey and blend briefly to incorporate. Always adjust according to your personal taste.
  4. Pour the shake into a glass or a to-go cup. If you’re feeling fancy, sprinkle your desired toppings—like chocolate shavings or chopped nuts—on top for that extra special touch.
  5. Sip and savor the delightful combination of chocolate and cherries! This shake not only refuels you, but also satisfies your sweet cravings.
