Refreshing Apricot Strawberry Smoothies Recipe

This Refreshing Apricot Strawberry Smoothie tastes like sunshine in a glass—sweet strawberries, juicy apricots, and a creamy finish. It’s quick, naturally fruity, and perfect for busy mornings or a light afternoon pick-me-up. You can make it dairy-free or boost it with protein in seconds. Chill it extra cold and it’s basically a healthy “milkshake.”

Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup strawberries fresh or frozen
  • 2 ripe apricots pitted and chopped (or 1 cup frozen apricot slices)
  • 1 ripe banana for creaminess
  • 1 cup yogurt plain or vanilla or dairy-free yogurt
  • 1/2 cup milk dairy or almond/oat
  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup optional, to taste
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds optional
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract optional
  • 1 cup ice use less if using frozen fruit

Method
 

  1. Add strawberries, apricots, banana, yogurt, milk, and sweetener (if using) to a blender.
  2. Add chia seeds, vanilla, and ice, then blend until smooth and creamy.
  3. Taste and adjust sweetness or thickness (more milk to thin, more ice to thicken).
  4. Pour into glasses and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a thicker smoothie, use frozen strawberries/apricots and skip some ice.
  • For more protein, add 1 scoop vanilla protein powder or 2 tbsp Greek yogurt.
  • For extra “refreshing,” add a squeeze of lemon or a few mint leaves.
  • Best served fresh, but you can refrigerate up to 12 hours and re-blend/shake well.
