This chocolate cherry smoothie with almonds feels like a luxury spa treatment but in a blender, minus overpriced cucumber water.
Cherries bring juicy sweetness, cocoa adds indulgence, and almonds sneak in crunch while pretending they’re here only for your health.
It’s creamy, energizing, and just bougie enough to make you feel like you deserve a crown and silk robe.
Drink it for breakfast, post-gym recovery, or when PMS screams chocolate—and almonds politely whisper “protein, darling.”
