Cherry Pie Smoothie
Have pie for breakfast with this cherry pie protein smoothie that tastes indulgent and is wonderfully refreshing!
A protein smoothie inspired by a dessert. After making a blueberry muffin smoothie I was motivated to make more smoothies inspired by baked goods. This delicious cherry smoothie is made with cherries, oats, and hidden veggies for a gluten-free, dairy-free protein smoothie.
You will love Cherry Pie Smoothie because:
- Cherry pie smoothie is a healthy high protein smoothie that tastes like cherry pie
- A quick and healthy protein-packed recipe
- Vegan, gluten-free, and plant-based recipe
- Filling and blood-sugar balancing
- A balanced smoothie with protein, fat, and fiber
- Hidden veggies to add a boost of nutrients
- An easy way to sneak in veggies without making a green smoothie
Cherry Pie Smoothie is made with:
- Milk: I use almond or cashew milk
- Frozen cherries: frozen cherries make it sweet and creamy and are high in antioxidants
- Frozen riced cauliflower: hidden veggies you will never taste but adds bulk, nutrients, and creaminess to the smoothie
- Oats: use gluten-free oats if needed
- Almond butter: adds healthy fats for satiety and gives the smoothie a richer flavor
- Ground flaxseed: is optional but adds a boost the nutrition and extra fiber
- Protein Powder: I use vanilla or cinnamon protein powder
- Cinnamon: a warming spice that can help balance blood sugar
Recipe Tips:
- Make sure to use a cinnamon or vanilla protein you enjoy
- If you are gluten-free make sure your oats are certified gluten-free
- I use a lot of cinnamon so add to your taste preference
- Frozen zucchini slices can work in place of the frozen riced cauliflower
- I like to buy my frozen cherries and riced cauliflower from Costco to keep this recipe budget friendly
- Add granola or cereal for some added crunch and satisfaction
- Ground flaxseed is optional but adds extra fiber
