When you use well-ripened fruits, this sweet and refreshing smoothie with a slightly sour note becomes a true little pleasure. Apricots are the main highlight, and dates add extra sweetness.
The recipe allows for different variations – you can add more apricots or include mango and/or banana for a creamier texture. Orange juice provides a fresh acidity, while coconut water creates a softer and delicately sweet taste. Your favorite variation might change depending on your mood.
