Cherry oatmeal smoothie

Now that I'm finally able to work out again, my appetite for quick, easy, and healthy meal fixes has returned.  I love coming home from the gym in the morning to enjoy one of these smoothies waiting in the fridge.
Ingredients:
  • 1/4 cup uncooked rolled oats
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons chia seeds
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup cranberry-cherry juice
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup frozen cherries
  • splash of vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon honey
Directions:
Blend oats and chia seed in blender until texture is fine.  Add milk and juice.  Stir to get oats and chias off the bottom.  Add remaining ingredients.  Blend until desired smoothness.
Refrigerate overnight (or at least 4 hours).  Shake before drinking.
