Just 8 ingredients (all of them vegan!) and five minutes and you'll be sipping this decadent but nutrient-dense Cherry Pie Smoothie. A wholesome spread of cherries, oats, chia seeds and more results in a meal-in-a-glass packed with protein, calcium, iron and lots of healthy fats.
Place the oats and chia seeds in a blender, then blend on high until pulverized.
Add the cherries, banana, cashew milk, honey or maple syrup, and extracts, along with half a cup of ice. Blend on high until smooth, scraping down the sides once if needed.
Pour into a glass, and (optional) garnish with chia seeds and fresh cherries.
Notes
If you have a high-powered blender like a Vitamix, you can skip Step 1, and simply blend all ingredients until smooth.
