This chocolate cherry smoothie with yogurt tastes like dessert disguised as breakfast, making mornings less tragic and more fabulous.
Cherries deliver juicy tartness, cocoa brings indulgence, and vegan yogurt pretends it’s just here for probiotics but secretly adds creaminess.
It’s rich, tangy, and filling enough to stop you from raiding the snack cupboard five minutes later.
Sip it post-workout, during a Netflix binge, or while avoiding texts from your ex—it multitasks better than you do.
