Ingredients
Scale
Fruits:
- 2 cups (about 3/4 pound) apricots, pitted
- 1 cup strawberries, hulled
- 1 cup frozen pineapple
Liquid:
- 1 cup cold coconut water, or cold filtered water
Optional Supplement:
- 1 teaspoon flax seed oil
Instructions
- Gather fresh apricots, ripe strawberries, yogurt, milk, and ice cubes, ensuring all ingredients are chilled for optimal smoothie texture.
- Add the prepared fruits, yogurt, milk, and ice into a high-powered blender, positioning ingredients to maximize blending efficiency.
- Pulse the mixture initially to break down larger fruit chunks, then blend continuously for 30-45 seconds until achieving a silky, uniform consistency.
- Evaluate the smoothie’s thickness, adding extra milk if too dense or additional ice if wanting a more frosty texture.
- Transfer the vibrant, creamy smoothie into a tall chilled glass, allowing the natural colors of apricot and strawberry to showcase their visual appeal.
- Serve immediately to preserve the smoothie’s fresh flavor and optimal temperature, enjoying the refreshing blend of sweet and tangy fruit notes.
Notes
- Swap dairy milk with almond or oat milk for a vegan-friendly version that’s creamy and delicious.
- Freeze ripe apricots and strawberries beforehand to create an extra thick, frosty smoothie texture without adding ice.
- Add a tablespoon of chia seeds or protein powder to boost nutritional value and make the smoothie more filling for a quick breakfast or post-workout drink.
- For a lower sugar option, use unsweetened plant-based milk and reduce or omit any added sweeteners, letting the natural fruit sweetness shine through.
