BOBBI BROWN’S CHOCOLATE COCONUT KALE SHAKE RECIPE
This is guiltless chocolate awesomeness if we’ve ever tasted it, all wrapped up into a chocolate coconut kale shake!
Adapted from a favorite by makeup artist Bobbi Brown, this fabulous smoothie is a thick, rich, decadent chocolate milkshake that also happens to be packed with nutrition.
This chocolate coconut kale shake is technically a green smoothie, so add it to the daily lineup!
A Blendtec or Vitamix blender will make that kale into chocolate creamy goodness in under a minute, completely liquifying all of that nutritional goodness into a yummy beverage!
You can make this green smoothie in a “regular” blender as well.

HEALTH BENEFITS OF CHERRIES
Cherries are a surprisingly healthy addition to your diet — so long as they aren’t of the maraschino variety!
Cherries battle belly fat, due to the anti-inflammatory effects that also lower blood levels of cholesterol and triglycerides.
If you struggle with arthritis or gout, cherries can alleviate symptoms in as little as two days!
Cherries can also reduce stoke risk and help you get better sleep, too!
Cherry juice can alleviate agitated sleep symptoms from unbalanced hormones, excess stress, and even unhealthier habits when consumed about an hour before bed, so drink up!
Raw cacao is packed with antioxidants and also should be enjoyed guiltlessly!
Would like to know Bobbi’s favorite brand of protein.
This is so yummy, might be my favorite so far. I love that chocolate is healthy and this tastes so rich with the cherries!
Thanks for sharing Amy! This is one of our favorites too, so much that we added it to our Free Green Smoothie Challenge! HAPPY BLENDING!
This one is amazing!!!!!! I used almond milk because that’s my fave milk sub. I will make this next time I have a chocolate craving! Thank you for another great recipe to help me maintain my healthy life style!
