This quick and healthy Apricot Berry Smoothie recipe incorporates the powerful health benefits of the apricot.
Apricots are an excellent source of vitamin A & C and a great source of potassium and fiber. They are enriched with numerous health promoting phyto-chemicals that helps prevent heart disease, reduce LDL, (“bad cholesterol”) levels and offer protection against cancers.

Originally from China, their skin color can range from cream to bright orange.
