Classic flavors of a treat, built to perform like a real breakfast.
This recipe is inspired by an original creation from celebrity vegan chef Jason Wrobel, reimagined using the new Warrior Blend Performance for improved taste, texture, and function.
This Black Forest Performance Smoothie is rich, fruity, and surprisingly filling, in way that feels like a treat but fuels just as any nutritious breakfast. Inspired by an original recipe from J-Wro, this refreshed version keeps the same list of ingredients but uses the new Warrior Blend Performance to boost protein content and the Sunwarrior Maca Root for added adaptogenic benefits.
Juicy cherries + rich cacao = classic flavor. Add a little extra plant protein and suddenly you’ve got a bowl that could actually keep you energized and satisfied all at once… while still craving for more.
As the chef puts it, “It’s so delicious, it’s like a dessert at breakfast time… but a super healthy dessert.” So, take it as your healthy excuse to eat chocolate before noon!
