Instructions

Add the milk and vanilla extract to a high-speed blender.
Add the frozen pitted cherries, rolled oats, and a pinch of fine sea salt.
Add the ice cubes.
Blend on low for 10 seconds, then increase to high and blend for 35–50 seconds until completely smooth.
Check the smoothie consistency and add 1–2 tablespoons of additional milk if it is too thick, or a few extra ice cubes or frozen fruit if it is too thin.
Pour into a 16-ounce glass and serve immediately.

Tips

For a dairy-free version, substitute milk with almond or oat milk. Soaking the oats for 10 minutes beforehand can help achieve an even smoother texture.
