Chocolate Cherry Breakfast Smoothie

With cherry season in full swing here we have been eating out fair share and now I've figured out how to drink them for breakfast too! This no-sugar-added drink is super filling what with the oats and chia seeds. 

Chocolate Cherry Breakfast Smoothie

• 1 cup pitted frozen cherries
• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 1-2 Tablespoons chia seeds
• 1.5 cups unsweetened almond or soy milk
• 2 Tablespoons cocoa powder
• a few ice cube - optional but recommended

Blend it all up until smooth! I just use the "smoothie" button my Blendtec which I just love! If you don't have a high speed blender you may want to blend up your oats and chia seeds first so they get incorporated in better.
