Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Guava (fresh or canned, deseeded)
- 6 pieces Dried apricots
- 1 large Banana (ripe)
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or any preferred milk)
- 2 teaspoons Honey (optional, for sweetness)
- 4 pieces Ice cubes
Instructions
If using dried apricots, soak them in warm water for 5-10 minutes to soften them, then drain.
Peel the guavas and cut them in half. Use a spoon to remove the seeds, as they can be tough to blend. Dice the guava flesh into small chunks.
Peel the ripe banana and cut it into smaller chunks for easier blending.
In a blender, combine the guava chunks, softened dried apricots, banana, Greek yogurt, almond milk, and honey (if using).
Add the ice cubes to the blender for a chilled, refreshing texture.
Blend on high speed for 1-2 minutes or until the mixture is smooth and creamy. You may need to pause and scrape down the sides of the blender if needed.
Taste the smoothie and adjust the sweetness by adding a little more honey if desired.
Pour the smoothie into two glasses and serve immediately. Garnish with a small slice of guava or a sprinkling of chopped apricots for presentation, if desired.
