Is it OK to grind whole cherries including pits in smoothie drinks?

I’ve been experimenting with health drinks using a Vitamix blender which breaks down whole fruits and vegetables to the cellular level. I include cantaloupe seeds, whole apples but was concerned about cherry pits. Any thoughts?

How do I make a smoothie?

I have a whole bunch of fruit in the house (strawberries, bananas, apples, cherries, grapes, and a watermelon) that I want to use up before it goes bad. I would like to make a yummy smoothie that my kids will drink. What exactly do I mix with the fruit to make it good like at a smoothie shop? Yogurt, milk, ice, what?? Thanks for any suggestions!
