- Combine in Blender: Add the oats, banana, cherries, vanilla yogurt, milk, and salt to the blender. Make sure the cherries are pitted if using fresh.
- Blend Smooth: Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Stop and scrape down the sides as needed to ensure even blending.
- Adjust Consistency: If the smoothie is too thick, add additional milk a tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency.

Notes
- Use fresh or frozen cherries depending on availability; frozen cherries will make the smoothie colder and thicker.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute yogurt and milk with plant-based alternatives such as almond or coconut milk and dairy-free yogurt.
- Add a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup if you prefer a sweeter smoothie.
- Soaking oats for 10 minutes beforehand can make the smoothie creamier and easier to blend.
