Let’s face it, holidays are the days (or weeks) we prepare for the ENTIRE year. We diet, we fast…we do whatever it takes to burn off the extra pounds added during these “exception” days.
Year after year, we indulge, feel horrible yet don’t make any changes. Look, I get it. Drastic declarations are just hot air when patterns don’t budge.
Most of us would much rather reach for the low hanging fruit than get out of our comfort zone.
Fortunately, I’ve got a recipe to share that can serve both the sweet tooth and the health-minded.
It’s a recipe that I included in Dr. Alejandro Junger’s book, Clean 7. I was fortunate enough to contribute the recipes for this powerful one-week breakthrough detox program.
Here’s my recipe for the Black Forest Shake. This chocolatey shake gets its sweetness from black cherries and stevia. Nothing else. Check it out!

Hi Chef James,
This looks fabulous. Is there an alternative to the stevia? I have Lakanto and Swerve (powdered).
Absolutely. As you may have seen in the video, I didn’t even use the stevia. I could have upped the cherries slightly or split up the rice milk (or whatever milk you choose) with coconut water. Just remember with the Lakanto, stevia and Swerve….a little goes a long way. Enjoy!
