This Chia Cherry Smoothie recipe takes very little effort to prepare and is the perfect summer smoothie for a hot afternoon or breakfast alternative. Made with Harry & David cherries, this smoothie is refreshing, delicious, and nutrition.

What's the base of this cherry smoothie? A delicious chia pudding! If you love the texture of tapioca, chia pudding is similar, healthier and quicker to prepare. Make the chia pudding 30 minutes ahead of time so it can set. You can even put the chia pudding in the fridge overnight for a smoothie breakfast. If your chia has sat overnight, you'll probably need a spoon to enjoy the next day. And the best part about smoothies: the toppings! Fresh cherries, some extra chia for a little crunch, maybe some yogurt if you'd like or even chopped chocolate. It's a breakfast dream!
