Ingredients
Scale
Fruits
- 1 banana, sliced (frozen is best)
- 2 cups frozen cherries (pitted)
Dry Ingredients
- 2–3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup old fashioned rolled oats
Liquids & Flavorings
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 2–1/2 cups oat milk
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the oats: Blend the old fashioned rolled oats in a blender until they resemble oat flour. If you have a high-powered blender, you can skip this step and add the oats directly with the other ingredients.
- Add main ingredients: Add the frozen cherries, sliced banana, oat milk, vanilla extract, and maple syrup to the blender with the oat flour or whole oats.
- Blend smoothie: Blend all ingredients together until smooth and creamy. Make sure everything is well combined and the texture is even.
- Adjust consistency: If the smoothie is too thick, add 2-3 ice cubes or a small amount of additional oat milk or water to thin it out to your preference.
- Serve: Pour the smoothie into a glass and serve with a straw. For a thicker smoothie, pour it into a bowl, garnish with berries, nuts, or seeds, and enjoy with a spoon.
Notes
- Using frozen banana and cherries gives the smoothie a creamy texture and naturally chilled temperature.
- Blending the oats into oat flour helps achieve a smoother texture but is optional if you have a powerful blender.
- Maple syrup adds natural sweetness, but you can adjust or omit it based on your taste or dietary preferences.
- Adding ice cubes is optional depending on how thick or cold you like your smoothie.
- This smoothie is naturally dairy-free due to oat milk and is perfect for vegan or lactose-intolerant diets.
