There aren’t many smoothie ingredients better than thick, creamy, and healthy Greek yogurt.
When you strain the liquid whey, lactose, and sugar from regular yogurt you’re left with the thick and creamy goodness known as Greek yogurt. Greek yogurt has roughly the same amount of calories as regular yogurt, but it contains about twice as much protein (6-ounce serving contains 15 to 20 grams) with half the sugar content.
Most health experts agree that it’s much healthier than regular yogurt.

Yes, healthy food can and often does taste as good or better than its unhealthy counterpart.
In my world cherries are a cherished delicacy. They’re only available at the farmers’ market for a month or two each year, and I hardly ever buy frozen fruit from the grocery store anymore. However, on a recent trip to Whole Foods I purchased a couple bags of frozen cherries with smoothies in mind.
Is there anything more decadent than chocolate covered cherries? This creamy chocolate cherry smoothie was designed to tickle your taste buds and rival the best tasting chocolate covered cherries.
This is one of those smoothies that tastes so good you have to remind yourself that it’s also quite healthy. Cherries and cacao (raw chocolate) are both loaded with antioxidants, both contain a good amount of magnesium, and both have been shown to be heart healthy. In conjunction with the other ingredients, this smoothie provides plenty of vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber to pass as a super healthy snack, dessert, or meal.
