Apricots and spinach sound like an odd couple, but the fruit's gentle acidity lifts the leaves nicely. The banana makes it creamy, and the colour settles into a soft olive green.

Banana Baby Spinach Smoothie with Apricots
Mild and fruity, with apricot perfume, soft banana and only a faint green note.
Baby spinach is the classic entry leaf for green smoothies, because its taste almost disappears next to sweet fruit. Here fresh apricots add a fragrant, slightly tart summer note, and the banana gives body. Apricots are a source of beta carotene, and the thin skin can be blended along with the flesh. It is a light glass without any added sugar, ideal for a warm breakfast on the balcony or a midday break.
