Notes
Some tips for this recipe:
- Use ripe apricots for the best flavor and sweetness, as they will blend more easily and provide natural sweetness to the smoothie.
- If apricots are not in season or unavailable, you can use frozen apricots instead. Just make sure to thaw them slightly before blending.
- Customize the smoothie by adding a handful of spinach or kale for extra nutrition, or a scoop of protein powder for added protein.
