Fruity, thick and nutty! A great way to have a breakfast on the run. Blend it up and take it with you. Enjoy this drink full of calcium and protein! The raisins are the sweetener but if you like it sweeter you can add some sugar or honey. Freeze the apricots the night before if you have time.

  • Don't skimp on the nuts: Nuts add healthy fats, protein, and flavor to the smoothie. Use raw, unsalted cashews or almonds.
  • Add a little bit of sweetness: If you like your smoothies sweet, add a touch of honey, maple syrup, or stevia. You can also use frozen fruit to naturally sweeten the smoothie.
