4 Refreshing Apricot Smoothies

apricot-smoothieRelatives to peaches, apricots are sweet and smooth, and although less juicy they are well suited for smoothies. They are smaller than peaches, have a golden skin and flesh and to many they are often the first sign of summer. Their flavour is somewhere between a peach and a plum, and they blend well with peaches, strawberries, watermelon, nectarine, coconut and other tropical fruits. Apricots are full of beta-carotene, which help protect eyes and heart, as well fiber which help aid the digestion process.
