Grab These Ingredients

Other than maybe the cherries, I’m guessing you already have everything in your pantry and fridge to make this smoothie! Jump down to the recipe card for exact measurements.

Rolled Oats: I like to use rolled oats because they are minimally processed, meaning more nutrients. But instant oats will work too.
Banana: For an ultra-creamy texture, be sure to freeze it beforehand. It helps to slice the banana and then freeze it. If it’s frozen in the skin, it’s nearly impossible to get the skin off.
Cherries: I love using fresh, in-season cherries, but frozen will work too.
Vanilla Yogurt: This adds sweetness, helps create a creamy texture, and adds some protein.
Milk: Feel free to use any milk you have on hand!
Salt: This might seem odd for a smoothie but salt helps enhance all the other flavors!

Let’s make a cherry smoothie!

Making a cherry pie smoothie is simple to do. Just be sure to freeze your banana ahead of time! Then blend everything together until smooth.

Freeze a lot of bananas

Whenever bananas start to go bad, I peel, slice, and freeze them on a sheet tray, then transfer them to a ziplock bag. This limits food waste and ensures I always have frozen bananas on hand!

Storage

Leftover smoothies can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 day. To thicken them again, reblend them with ice cubes.

Or, you can freeze it into ice cube trays, then pop them out and store in plastic ziplock bags. It will keep it for up to 3 months this way. Blend the cubes together with milk when ready to enjoy.

meal prep smoothies

If you want to prep these smoothies ahead of time, you can make smoothie bags. Place the oats, banana, cherries, and salt in a freezer-safe container. When you’re ready to make it, pour these contents into the blender, add the yogurt and milk, and blend. That’s it!
