Ingredients
6 ripe apricots, halved and stoned
170g fresh raspberries
500ml light coconut milk
1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
Plenty of ice cubes
Directions
Add the halved apricots, raspberries, light coconut milk, vanilla bean paste, and a generous handful of ice cubes to a high-powered blender.
Blend on high speed until completely smooth and creamy, about 1–2 minutes, adding more ice if needed for the desired thickness and chill.
Divide the smoothie evenly among 4 tall glasses and insert a straw in each glass.
Serve immediately while cold and enjoy.
Comments
This smoothie is genuinely quick—three minutes is honest for blending, with no prep trickery. Apricots and raspberries are available year-round at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Publix, and Walmart, though frozen berries and canned apricots cost less and work equally well; coconut milk and vanilla are staples everywhere. The real cost driver is buying fresh apricots and raspberries in the same week, which runs roughly $3 to $4 per serving. It's a same-morning drink with no leftovers, so it works best for households that want a quick breakfast or snack, not a component of a larger meal.
