The Happy Belly Chocolate Cherry Smoothie

A dessert-worthy sip your gut will thank you for.

Some days your gut wants a green juice. Other days… it wants chocolate — but without the regret, bloating, or sugar crash.

The Happy Belly Chocolate Cherry Smoothie:
rich, chocolatey, slightly tart, and secretly working behind the scenes to support digestion. Think dessert energy with wellness intentions ✨

Why This Smoothie Is a Gut Win

This isn’t just a “tastes good” smoothie — it’s a feel-good-from-the-inside-out kind of blend.

🍒 Cherries = Gut Love
 Cherries are packed with fiber and polyphenols that help feed your good gut bacteria and calm inflammation. Translation? A happier, more balanced digestive system.

🍫 Cacao = Prebiotic Power
 Unsweetened cacao isn’t just for chocolate lovers — it contains compounds that support healthy gut microbes and reduce inflammation. Chocolate, but make it functional.

🥛 Probiotics = Balance Restored
 Adding yogurt (Greek or plant-based with live cultures) helps introduce good bacteria that support digestion and overall gut health.

🌱 Seeds = Smooth Digestion
 Chia or flax seeds add gentle fiber to keep things moving — without being harsh on your system.

You’ll need:

  1. 1 cup frozen cherries (no added sugar)
  2. 1 tbsp unsweetened cacao or cocoa powder
  3. ¾ cup unsweetened almond milk (or oat milk)
  4. ½ cup plain Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt with live cultures
  5. 1 tbsp chia seeds or ground flaxseed
  6. Optional: a drizzle of honey or maple syrup
  7. Optional vibe boosters: cinnamon or vanilla

Blend until smooth and sip slowly — your gut prefers calm, not chaos 😉

How to Make It Even Better for Your Gut

  1. Drink it mid-morning or as an afternoon snack (less stress on digestion)
  2. Avoid chocolate syrups or artificial sweeteners — they can irritate the gut
  3. Keep portions reasonable if cherries usually make you bloated
