Creamy and sweet with a fresh apricot tang and a mild green note.
Apricots have a short season in early summer, and ripe ones are soft, fragrant and slightly tart. They are known for their beta-carotene, which gives them their orange colour. Here they bring freshness to the creamy combination of banana and baby spinach, a classic in green smoothies because the banana covers the mild spinach so well.
The smoothie is plant based and light, a good breakfast glass in apricot season.
