Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (preferably Oikos Triple Zero)
- 1 tablespoon peanut butter (or other nut butter)
- 2 tablespoons chocolate protein powder (or use chocolate milk when blending)
- ½ cup cherries (fresh or frozen, also works with dark berries or strawberries)
- 2 ounces water (more or less as needed)
- ½ cup milk (preferably Fairlife)
Instructions
- Combine the yogurt, peanut butter, protein powder (if using), cherries, and water in a blender or food processor. This mixture will be thick.
- If available, use the smoothie setting on your blender or blend on high until well blended, allowing some fruit chunks to remain.
- Pour the mixture into a silicone mold or ice cube tray and freeze for at least 4 hours.
- Once frozen, transfer the smoothie cubes to an airtight container or bag.
- When ready to enjoy, add the desired number of smoothie cubes to a blender, along with your choice of milk. Use 1-2 cubes with about ¼ cup milk for a small smoothie or 3-4 cubes with ½ cup milk for a larger one. Adjust to achieve your preferred thickness.
Notes
For a thicker smoothie, use more cubes and less milk.
Experiment with different fruits like dark berries or strawberries for variety.
If the blender struggles with the thick mixture, add a bit more water to assist.
