I love Black Forest gateau. It was very popular a number of years ago but I haven’t seen it for a while. I have a super simple chocolate cake recipe that I often sandwich with cherries so it was good to learn how healthy they are … although maybe not used this way, lol!
Anyway, tasty as that might be, adding fresh or frozen cherries to your smoothie is the healthy option, so go ahead and try this recipe from Kellie at KelliesFoodToGlow. (it’s at the end of the post.) Nellie reminds us that smoothies are a good way to start your day as …
… eating breakfast quite literally helps us to make good food choices the rest of the day.

Recipe: Black Forest Smoothie
Serves 1-2
Ingredients:
- 3 heaped tbsp Yogurt (I like non-fat Greek yogurt or Katy Rodger’s plain)
- 250ml unsweetened Almond Milk, or whatever you like
- ½ tsp Vanilla extract (optional)
- 2 tbsp pure Cocoa OR cacao powder
- Kale or spinach, chopped – a good heaped handful (as much as you dare)
- Frozen sour Cherries OR a dark ‘summer fruits’ mix (eg with blackberries, black currants, red currants, cherries, blueberries – that kind of thing) – about 1 cup, but amount is up to you (I never measure)
- Acacia Honey, to taste (about 1 tsp)
- Water, to thin as needed
*Pop everything in your blender, according to your manufacturer’s instructions and blast until icy, smooth and creamy.*
Extra options
For energy: add ¼ tsp Matcha powder (green tea powder) for a gentle caffeine hit.
Add more fibre (especially if you aren’t using kale): add ground Chia or flaxseeds – about 2 tbsp.
