Instructions

Add the milk to a high-speed blender first.
Add the frozen banana and apricot halves.
Add the pure vanilla extract and fine sea salt.
Add the ice cubes.
Blend on low for 10 seconds, then increase to high and blend for 35–50 seconds until completely smooth.
Check consistency. If too thick, blend in 1–2 tablespoons additional milk. If too thin, add a few extra ice cubes or frozen fruit and blend again.
Pour into a 16-ounce glass and serve immediately.

Tips

Use frozen apricot halves for a colder smoothie or fresh apricots with extra ice cubes. Substitute almond milk for a dairy-free option.
