This smoothie combines 50 g blanched almonds, 8 apricots, 1 banana and 1 apple. Add 1 tsp honey, 1 tbsp lime juice and 250 g apple juice to finish. Allow about 15 minutes, including fruit preparation, for 2 glasses.
Grind the almonds before adding fruit
Start with blanched almonds, with their brown skins removed. Put the measured 50 g into the mixing bowl and grind for 20 seconds at speed 10. The fruit goes in after this dry grinding step.
Remove the apricot stones
Wash the apricots, halve them and remove every stone. Peel the banana and cut it into pieces. Quarter and peel the apple, then remove its core. Add the prepared fruit to the ground almonds and blend for 10 seconds at speed 10. Scrape the mixture down with the spatula.
Add the honey and juices last
Add 1 tsp honey, 1 tbsp lime juice and 250 g apple juice. Mix for 10 seconds at speed 4. Lime juice and apple juice are separate measured ingredients; keep both in the base recipe.
Serve freshly mixed
Divide the batch between 2 glasses and serve. Fruit size affects the finished volume, so the two glasses are a serving guide rather than a guarantee of exactly 400 ml each.
The original notes suggest a scoop of vanilla ice cream as an optional serving addition. The base smoothie already includes honey; additions or ingredient substitutions change the recipe and its nutritional values.
