Look at my apricot orange smoothie !  An orange colour smoothie !!  I have been trying to make colourful smoothies for awhile.  Now I made it.  Yes !!!







Ingredients for app. 250 ml:

3 ripe apricots (app. 1/3 cup), peeled, pitted and chopped
1/3 ripe banana (app. 1/4 cup), peeled and chopped
1/2 cup unsweetened orange juice

I use Magic Bullet to make my smoothie.  Maybe I don't know how to operate the machine properly; I need to cut my fruit small.  Then, I don't over work the machine.  If you have a powerful blender, I don't think you need to chop at all.

Okay, the taste of my smoothie - not as sweet as I think.  Next time I may use more banana.  Or, I will use fresh orange juice from sweet orange.  Add natural sweeteners other than banana?  I can add dates, figs, apples, pears or grapes to my smoothies but would my lovely orange colour be gone?   Add peaches or mangos, perhaps?  Will carrots work?
