This Cherry Oat Smoothie recipe has everything you need to keep your belly full all morning, and the best part? It tastes just like cherry pie!

Cherry Oat Smoothie

These oats are getting oat of hand (somebody HELP, I can’t stop making oat puns). This weekend I thought I’d try my hand at apple oat pancakes, which sounded good in theory but were not, in fact, at all delicious in real life.

And the poor tulip-man, who only ever wanted a good American pancake, has an American girlfriend who insists on using him as her guinea pig for gluten-free and whole wheat and whatevers-in-our-pantry pancakes. So yea, oatmeal does not equal fluffy pancakes. But it does equal creamy smoothies. Enter the Cherry Oat Smoothie.

Cherry Oat Smoothie

You may be thinking, “oats…in a smoothie?”. One word, yaaaassss.

Oats not only bring a really satisfying, cozy flavor to the smoothie, but they thicken it up quite a bit! As your smoothie sits, the pieces of oats, which will have pulverized with everything else in the blender, will absorb some of the moisture from the drink, making for a thick, creamy smoothie.

Cherry Oat Smoothie

Then we’ll throw in some cherries because it’s summer and cherries are a must. On Saturdays I like to travel into the center of Rotterdam to walk around the massive farmer’s market that pops up in the square. And because Rotterdam has the largest port in Europe, we can get loads of fresh fruits and vegetables for pretty decent prices.

Long story short, I saw an enormous bag of cherries that cost next to nothing and I had to have them. And now they sit, looking at me, wondering if I’m going to get around to pitting them and cooking something nice or if they’ll all just rot away.

Well not today, cherries! Today, these cherries are making the best darn smoothie east of the Mississippi. We’ll add a bit of vanilla yogurt for creaminess (or you can use Greek yogurt + ¼ tsp vanilla extract), some milk, and a pinch of salt for balance. And there you have it! A filling, healthy, delicious breakfast in a glass.

    I just wanted to say that if you turn your oats into oat flour via the blender/food processor, and mix them 1/2 and 1/2 with regular flour, they make wonderful pancakes!!!
