Black Chokeberry Smoothie
4 servings
10 minutes
A smoothie with black chokeberry is an amazingly bright and rich drink with a delicate balance of sweetness and tartness. Black chokeberry, known for its powerful antioxidant properties, harmoniously combines with banana and apple, adding a deep berry flavor to the drink. Carrot brings gentle sweetness, while avocado adds a velvety creamy texture. Lemon juice refreshes and enhances the flavor nuances, and almond milk makes the smoothie especially smooth. This drink can be served as a nutritious breakfast or refreshing snack, especially in the summer season. European chefs appreciate it for its rich taste and health benefits. Its simplicity in preparation makes it an excellent choice for those who want to enjoy natural flavors without extra hassle.
