Chocolate Cherry Almond Protein Smoothie image

This chocolate cherry smoothie feels like dessert but it's really a healthy breakfast that packs in 15 grams of protein per serving. Cocoa powder makes it super chocolatey and tofu adds a rich texture. Frozen cherries and almonds make it just sweet enough.
