This Rich Chocolate Cherry Smoothie Helps You Lose Weight
Chocolate-covered cherries was one of my favorite treats as a kid, but as an adult trying to stay lean, I don't eat many anymore. This recipe from my Men's Health book The MetaShred Diet is my protein-and-fiber-packed alternative, which feeds my cravings and keeps me full for longer. It packs a serious load of antioxidants from the cherries and cocoa while also giving you a blend of both fast- and slow-digesting proteins. This is guaranteed to become one of your favorite shakes.
What you'll need:
1 serving chocolate protein powder
1 1/2 cups frozen pitted sweet cherries (unsweetened)
1 Tbsp. unsweetened cocoa
1/4 cup low-fat cottage cheese
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup water
3-4 ice cubes
How to make it:
Place all the ingredients except the water and ice cubes in a blender and blend until smooth. Add the water and ice cubes depending on the consistency desired.
