Ripe apricots have a honeyed, slightly tart flavour that stands up well to spinach. With half a banana for body, this green smoothie tastes clearly of summer fruit.
20 g
baby spinach
½
banana
2
apricots ripe, stoned
5 oz
water
Garnish: None · Ice: Served up, no ice
Fruity and mild with a honeyed apricot note and only a faint green taste; smooth.
Apricots are in season for only a few weeks in early summer, and that is the time to make this smoothie. Ripe apricots are sweet with a light acidity and blend smoothly, skin and all. Baby spinach adds green colour with little flavour, and the banana brings creaminess. Apricots are known for their beta carotene. A light, fruity choice for breakfast or a warm afternoon.
No, the skin is thin and blends in well.
Yes, all ingredients are plant based.
Yes, drain them well. The smoothie will be sweeter, so you do not need any sweetener.
