Put unsweetened almond milk, date syrup, chia seeds, and frozen cherries into a blender. Secure lid.
Place ingredients into the blender in the order listed.
Blend until smooth.
Start the blender on LOW speed for 10 seconds. Increase speed to HIGH for a full minute.
Pour smoothie into a cup. Serve immediately.

You can use other types of milk, like oat milk or cow's milk instead of unsweetened almond milk.
Instead of chia seeds, you can use hemp seeds or flax seeds.
If freezing your own cherries, remove the pits and stems first. Cut the cherries in half before freezing.
Avoid freezing cherries that are mushy, damaged, or discolored.
Feel free to omit the date syrup for a less sweet smoothie.
Add a splash of almond milk and blend for 10 seconds if your smoothie is too thick.
For the best flavor and texture, drink your smoothie fresh. If you need to store leftovers, keep it in an airtight jar in the refrigerator. Enjoy within 2 days.
