Dark Chocolate Cherry Protein Smoothie

I’m forever trying to “up” the value of our breakfasts, and while I tend to crave a savory, meaty meal first thing, sometimes we create a sweet treat.  There’s something that makes the morning feel special about having chocolate first thing.  And when we have lots of guests, it’s fun sometimes to spoil “just our crew” with dessert for breakfast. This dark chocolate cherry protein smoothie feels a little bit like dessert on the palate, but it’s filling with the addition of the protein powder of your choice.

This is the protein powder I am liking – we also used it in the protein packs we made for our son, who is currently hiking the Appalachian Trail.

 

Do you have a power-breakfast that helps you get moving in the morning?
