Ingredients
1 medium banana, broken into chunks and frozen
½ cup fresh or frozen cherries
¼ cup unsweetened dairy-free milk alternative (such as cashew milk)
1 tablespoon dairy-free dark chocolate chips (85% cacao or to preference)
2–3 drops vanilla stevia or sweetener of choice, to taste
Directions
Combine the frozen banana chunks, cherries, and dairy-free milk alternative in a blender.
Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy, about 30–60 seconds.
Taste the shake and add vanilla stevia or your preferred sweetener a few drops at a time, blending briefly after each addition until the desired sweetness is reached.
Add the chocolate chips to the blender and pulse 2–3 times just to break them up and distribute them throughout without completely grinding them.
Pour into a glass and serve immediately with a spoon, enjoying the creamy texture and chocolate flecks throughout.
Comments
All ingredients are readily available at any Charlotte grocery chain—banana, cherry, chocolate chips, and sweetener are staples, and dairy-free milk (almond, oat, soy) is stocked everywhere from ALDI to Publix. The stated five minutes is honest for a blended drink. Cost per serving runs roughly $2–$2.50 depending on whether you use fresh or frozen cherry and how much chocolate you add, which is reasonable for a single-serve meal replacement. The main limitation is that this is a one-person drink that does not reheat or store well beyond a few hours, so it works only for solo breakfast or snack, not for family feeding or weeknight prep.
