Apricot, Cashew Smoothie image

Fruity, thick and nutty! A great way to have a breakfast on the run. Blend it up and take it with you. Enjoy this drink full of calcium and protein! The raisins are the sweetener but if you like it sweeter you can add some sugar or honey. Freeze the apricots the night before if you have time.

APRICOT BERRY SMOOTHIE

Just made this up today with what I had on hand and both my toddler and I loved it. A yogurt based smoothie that is quite tasty. The flaxmeal is not a MUST, but does increase the "health factor" and it tastes great in this smoothie (feel free to increase it to 2 T if you like).
