What better way to celebrate than making this delicious, cherry protein smoothie topped with… you guessed it… Chocolate!

This smoothie is made with simple ingredients that will satisfy that sweet tooth. Plus it’s packed with gut loving ingredients that will not only give you level energy but make your skin glow from within.

Cherries and cacao nibs are high in antioxidants that promote a healthy inflammatory response…

Coconut milk is an amazing, healthy fat and helps keep blood sugar level…

Collagen Powder is wonderful for glowing skin, joint, and hair health…

Bananas are a good source of prebiotics (food for your gut bacteria) and pair perfectly with Just Thrive Probiotic. Just Thrive is a true health superstar that not only nourishes your digestive health, but also increases energy and mood, supports immunity, and promotes healthy skin.

This smoothie makes the perfect breakfast, snack, and even dessert!
