Ingredients (100% Halal)

Plant Based

💡 Note: I always check labels to make sure all ingredients are halal-certified and natural. I avoid any alcohol-based flavorings.

Ingredient	Quantity	My Personal Note
Frozen Cherries	1-1/2 cups	Pitted; these provide natural sweetness and a boost of antioxidants.
Almond Butter	1 tbsp	Adds healthy plant-based protein and a rich, creamy texture.
Cacao Powder	1 tbsp	Use raw cacao for a deep, healthy chocolate flavor.
Chia Seeds	1 tbsp	Packed with fiber and healthy Omega-3 fats to keep you full.
Ground Cinnamon	1/2 tsp	Provides a warm flavor and supports healthy blood sugar levels.
Almond Milk	1/2 cup	Unsweetened; creates a perfectly smooth and light texture.

How I Make It (Step-by-Step)

Add Fruit

First, I add my frozen pitted cherries into the blender jar.

Add Fats & Flavor

I add the creamy almond butter and the rich cacao powder.

Add Seeds & Spice

I sprinkle in the chia seeds and the ground cinnamon.

Pour Liquid

I pour the unsweetened almond milk over the ingredients.

Blend Smooth

I blend everything on high speed until it is smooth and creamy.

Adjust

I taste it and add a little more milk if I want it thinner.

Enjoy

I pour it into my favorite tall glass and drink it immediately!

Smart Tips

I always use frozen cherries because they make the smoothie much thicker. If I want it sweeter, I add 1 or 2 small dates (halal and natural). For more protein, I sometimes mix in some halal-certified Greek yogurt. I blend for at least a full minute to ensure the chia seeds are invisible.

Serving Suggestions

I serve it ice-cold in a tall glass with a reusable straw.

I love topping mine with cacao nibs or extra chia seeds for a crunch.

Sometimes I add a few sliced fresh cherries on top for a pretty look.

It works perfectly as a healthy evening snack when I want dessert.
