Directions
- 1. Check your protein powder; if you’ve noticed a different texture from previous batches, adjust the liquid amount according to the package directions.
- 2. In a blender, add the milk, protein powder, frozen cherries, pitted dates, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
- 3. Blend on high until smooth, stopping to scrape the sides as needed.
- 4. If the mixture is too thick, stream in a little more liquid and blend again until you reach your desired consistency.
- 5. Taste and adjust if needed, then blend once more to ensure everything is well combined.
- 6. Divide the shake evenly between two glasses, using a spoon to help if needed.
- 7. If you like chill a moment with ice in each glass or add more milk to loosen the shake before serving.
- 8. Give the shake a final quick stir or pulse to recombine any settled ingredients, then serve.
- 9. Enjoy the shake right away or refrigerate for a short period if you prefer it cooler.
Two tips
- Prep tip: Measure and portion the ingredients in advance so the shake comes together quickly on busy nights.
- Serving tip: If you have leftovers, refrigerate and give the shake a quick stir before drinking.
