Pineapple, Apricot and Yoghurt Smoothie

Ingredients


For two people (Vegetarian)

3 fresh apricots, stoned
2 thick slices of fresh pineapple, trimmed and diced
300ml Greek yoghurt
1 tablespoon of good runny honey
crushed ice
1 chopped fresh apricot to serve.
(if you don't have an ice crusher, crush the ice in a tea towel
with the rolling pin.)

Recipe


Whiz the pineapple in a blender with the apricots and
about 1/3rd of the yoghurt. Once the mixture is really smooth, add the remainder of the yoghurt and whiz again for 20 seconds. Then pour the smoothie over two tablespoons of crushed ice into stylish
tall glasses with long spoons and sprinkle with chopped apricots.

It is worth buying a specialist blender for smoothies so that you can incorporate the ice. It is very important that the blades are strong enough to break up ice cubes without snapping.
