Start the day off deliciously with this easy recipe for a Summertime Strawberry-Apricot Smoothie!
I love fresh apricots but they are not in season very long! If you are able to find them, I strongly suggest buying as many as you can! They are so good on their own or tossed into a salad. You can also use them in baked goods like Apricot Tarts! My current favorite way to enjoy apricots is in this Summertime Strawberry-Apricot Smoothie!

Strawberries and apricots are two of my most favorite fruits. I always have packages of fruit leather in both flavors stashed where my kids will never find them! I am literally eating one as I write up this recipe!
After finding fresh apricots I knew right away I wanted to make a smoothie with them. Anytime I make smoothies, I always use strawberries. Always. I decided to keep this recipe really simple. There are only 3 ingredients but they blend so well together!
This Summertime Strawberry-Apricot Smoothie is mostly sweet with a hint of tartness. It’s a delicious way to start the day, especially on a beautiful summer morning! The fact that it’s the same color as a sunrise just makes it all that much more special!

You will need a blender, preferably with a smoothie cup for this recipe. You will also need a cutting board, knife, a large glass, and the ingredients.
Wash the strawberries and apricots and cut into chunks. Be sure to throw away the apricot pits.
