What blender is best for smoothies and milkshakes?

There are many blenders you can use for making smoothies, milkshakes and frozen drinks, but I personally own the Vitamix 780 and think it is simply the best.  I get smooth, consistent results every single time which is exactly what I want for all my drinks!  You can buy your own Vitamix 780 HERE.  It is my favorite and I know you will love it too!

Chocolate Cherry Smoothie

makes about 2 servings

Ingredients:

• 2 cups fresh Cherries, pitted, plus more for dipping with stems on
• 1 Banana
• 1 container Vanilla Yogurt
• A touch of Sugar, only if needed (the browner your bananas, the less sugar you will need)
• 1 scoop of your favorite Chocolate Protein Powder  (I love Young Livings Pure Protein in chocolate)
• ½ cup Almond Milk (or milk of your choice)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla
• 1 cup Ice (or more if needed)
• Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
• A touch of Vegetable Oil

Directions:

1. You will want to begin by cleaning all of your fruit and drying it completely.
2. Melt your chocolate with a touch of vegetable oil and then dip several whole cherries in it and let them sit until chocolate is hard in the fridge.  You can learn more about how to melt chocolate for dipping HERE : https://simplydesigning.net/how-to-melt-chocolate-for-dipping/
3. Place pitted cherries, banana, yogurt, protein powder, milk and vanilla in the blender and blend until smooth.
4. If needed, add a bit of sugar.  Add ice, and blend again until smooth.
5. Pour into glasses, top with chocolate covered cherries.  Enjoy!

I am not sure there is much better than a smoothie that tastes like a treat and this one hits the spot every single time!  (It does help that I think chocolate covered cherries are AMAZING!)
