Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups (about 3/4 pound) apricots, pitted
- 1 cup strawberries, hulled
- 1 cup frozen pineapple
Liquid Base:
- 1 cup cold coconut water, or cold filtered water
Optional Ingredient:
- 1 teaspoon flaxseed oil
Instructions
- Gather fresh strawberries, ripe apricots, frozen pineapple chunks, and coconut water in your blender, ensuring all ingredients are chilled and ready for mixing.
- Pulse the fruits and liquid together, gradually increasing blender speed to create a smooth, consistent texture without any large fruit chunks.
- Drizzle flaxseed oil into the blended mixture, giving a quick final pulse to incorporate the nutritional supplement evenly throughout the smoothie.
- Transfer the vibrant, golden-pink smoothie into serving glasses, making sure to swirl the liquid gently to distribute any remaining fruit particles.
- Serve the smoothie immediately while cold and frothy, enjoying the tropical and sweet flavor profile that combines the brightness of strawberries with the mellow richness of apricots.
Notes
- Opt for ripe, sweet fruits to enhance the natural flavor and sweetness of the smoothie without adding extra sugar.
- Use frozen pineapple or add ice cubes to create a thicker, more refreshing texture that keeps the drink perfectly chilled.
- Experiment with plant-based milk alternatives like almond or oat milk instead of coconut water for different nutritional profiles and taste variations.
- Add a handful of spinach or kale for an extra nutrient boost without significantly changing the fruity flavor of the smoothie.
