Cherry on Top Bowl
Made with love
Rich, vibrant, and deeply energizing.
This vibrant, creamy bowl is for the days you want to feel juicy, joyful, and deeply nourished. It's loaded with antioxidant-rich cherries, cacao, and açai, while maca and beetroot offer natural energy and hormone support without the caffeine crash. The rich ruby colour comes from nature, and tastes like a decadent dessert that leaves you feeling light and full of love.
This is one of my favourite blends to enjoy during my ovulatory phase, when I'm feeling most radiant and expressive, or anytime I need a gentle boost.
1 scoop vanilla vegan protein powder (I used Clean Vegan by Body Energy Club)
1 tsp beetroot powder (for natural, caffeine-free energy)
1 tsp maca powder (for hormone balance and endurance)
1 tsp acai powder (for antioxidants and skin glow)
Splash of coconut water (to blend)
1 cup frozen mixed berries
½ cup frozen cherries
Toppings:
Fresh cherries (pitted and halved)
Hemp hearts (for protein and omega-3s)
Freeze-dried strawberries (for crunch and vitamin C)
Ceremonial cacao pieces (hello, mood boost!)
How to Make It
Add all the base ingredients to a high-speed blender: start with frozen berries, frozen cherries, and a splash of coconut water. Blend and then add protein powder, beetroot, maca, açai powders.
Blend on high until smooth and creamy. Add a little more liquid only if needed, but keep it thick and spoonable.
Scoop into a bowl and smooth out the top with the back of a spoon.
Top it off with fresh cherries, a sprinkle of hemp hearts, freeze-dried strawberries, and chunks of ceremonial cacao.
Take a deep breath, give thanks, and enjoy slowly.
This bowl is rich in antioxidants, grounding minerals, and plant-based protein making it the perfect sweet-but-wholesome choice to nourish your energy and glow from the inside out. Cacao adds a gentle heart-opening lift while beetroot and maca give you that sustained, feel-good energy without the crash. Every spoonful is a reminder to slow down, savour, and treat yourself like the goddess you are.
