Coconut Pear Apricot Smoothie
Creamy and fruity, honeyed apricot with juicy pear and a mild coconut aroma.
Apricots are a short season fruit, at their best in early and mid summer, when they are soft and fragrant. They contain provitamin A, which also gives them their orange colour. Paired with the mild creaminess of coconut milk drink and a juicy pear, they make a smoothie that tastes sunny and rounded.
It needs no added sugar if the apricots are ripe. Enjoy it for breakfast or as a creamy snack.
