About this recipe
This creamy banana and apricot smoothie is a quick way to make a filling breakfast or mid-morning drink. Ripe banana brings body and natural sweetness, while dried apricots add a gentle tang and a little extra chew before blending smooth. Cinnamon rounds out the fruit without overpowering it.
Use chilled milk for the freshest texture, or choose oat milk or another dairy-free alternative. A small spoonful of coconut oil is optional, adding extra richness. Blend everything until completely smooth, then serve straight away while it is cold, silky and refreshing.
