This apricot smoothie has just 5 ingredients and the last one is optional. It’s so easy! It has just the perfect amount of sweet-tart flavor and the strawberries really enhance the yummy apricot flavor.
My husband came up with this smoothie. It is a healthy, energy boosting drink loaded with Vitamin’s A & C with a good dose of fiber (check out the nutrition facts below). Yum!

Hi! I'm Natasha Kravchuk. Here you'll find delicious, trusted recipes with easy step-by-step photos and videos. 
i was wondering if i could use dried Apricot in place of fresh???
Hi Kayla, I haven’t tried that but I think it might get a little thick using dried apricot.
I’ve tried this recipe using the coconut water and also substituting the coconut water with apricot greek yogurt and a half a cup of fresh squeezed orange juice. Surprisingly the second day the orange juice really enhanced the apricot flavor.
Glenn, thank you for sharing that with us! Our apricots are in season right now so I will be making a smoothie tomorrow 😬
Yo omg apricots and strawberries what a really way cool combo Natasha was wondering if I can add milk in place of the water and also add plain greek yogurt and honey definitely gotta try mmmm summer is officially here lol
Hi Tzivia, I don’t usually like milk in my smoothies because I find that it tends to separate when you let it sit. It will work and it will taste good though if you wanted to make those substitutions. Lately we’ve also been adding almond milk or even coconut milk to smoothies instead of water and it tastes great 🙂
Oh okay didn’t realize that gotcha mmmmm almond milk love it will try it out sometime thanx tons for your tips gurl they’ve helped lots am totally hooked on ur site
Really good I added 2 dates for a little extra sweetness!
Nancy, thank you for the nice review 😀.
It’s look delicious. Will definitely try this. Keep sharing more recipes like this Natasha.
Just found your site via Pinterest and I can’t believe I haven’t been here before!! I am loving your smoothie recipes – I’ve never seen Apricot and Strawberry together before! Looking forward to following you and seeing future recipes! 🙂
Thank you so much Annie and welcome to my blog! I’m so happy you’re here :). I hope you find many new favorite recipes! 🙂
Thanks for recommending the Blendtec! We love it and tried all of your smoothie recipes. Can’t wait to try this. Thank you.
I’m so happy to hear that. Yeah, we’re kind of obsessed about our Blendtec 🙂
So pretty, this would be the perfect post run smoothie!
It would give you that refreshing boost of energy! We froze a bunch of apricots so we could keep making it during the winter months.;-)
Hallo Natasha, your smoothie looks amazing, normally I put brown flax seeds on my smoothie.
I love putting flax seeds in my smoothies. The flax seed oil is nice because it’s a large dose of Omega 3 at once, but flax seeds are great too! 🙂
Wow! Looks delicious!
Thank you Valya, my son loves the color, since orange is his favorite :).
I use organic chia seeds in all my smoothies . It’s really good for you
We buy ours in Costco and put them in smoothies as well 🙂
Girl, these photos! Just gorgeous! Love that pour shot. And the smoothies sounds delicious too! If only I knew someone with a plethora of fresh picked apricots! 😉
If you do get a plethora in the future, remember this one! 😉 thanks Lindsey!
Does flax oil have a flavor? I am interested in trying it
I wasn’t able to taste it 🙂
Yummy!!!
I put chai seeds in my smoothies!!
We do that as well, I love chia seeds 🙂
I love apricots and strawberries!! Going to try this.
Let me know how it works out 🙂
Interesting that you add flaxseed oil.. I just add ground flaxseed 🙂 ground so the kids don’t notice, but I suppose they wouldn’t notice the oil either 😀 But that’s the only “weird” thing! This looks delicious!
You can definitely use flax seeds. The oil is just more potent 🙂
