Cherries in a Glass

I love breakfast, but it seems like I only rarely get to enjoy a giant plate of warm pancakes.  I'm usually rushing out of the door with a spilling cup of coffee in my hand. 

With summer fruit blooming in abundance, it's a great time to experiment with fun breakfast shakes.  This week I'm going to switch out my mug of coffee for this tart Cherry Breakfast Smoothie.  Use frozen cherries- they're easy to find in grocery stores and save you from having to pit fresh cherries.

Cherry Breakfast Smoothie

2 cups pitted frozen tart cherries

1 large ripe banana

1 cup orange juice

1/4 cup non fat yogurt

Put all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.  It's as simple as that.  Pour in a glass and run off to work!
