This rich chocolate cherry smoothie helps you lose weight
Try it for a heaping dose of protein and fiber that tastes like dessert.
This recipe from my Men's Health book The MetaShred Diet is my protein-and-fiber-packed alternative, which feeds my cravings and keeps me full for longer.
It packs a serious load of antioxidants from the cherries and cocoa while also giving you a blend of both fast- and slow-digesting proteins.
This is guaranteed to become one of your favorite shakes.
