Caramelized Apricot Toast & Apricot Smoothie
Two quick and flavorful recipes using fresh apricots: a caramelized apricot toast that’s crispy and creamy, and a tangy apricot smoothie perfect for breakfast or a snack.
Ingredients
- 2 fresh apricots sliced
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 slice sourdough bread toasted
- 2 tablespoons ricotta cheese
- pinch sea salt
- 3 fresh apricots pitted
- 1 banana
- ½ cup Greek yogurt
- ½ cup almond milk or substitute
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Toast the sourdough bread until golden.
- Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add sliced apricots and cook for 2–3 minutes per side until caramelized.
- Spread ricotta on the toast. Top with caramelized apricots.
- Drizzle with honey and a pinch of sea salt. Serve immediately.
- For the smoothie, add apricots, banana, Greek yogurt, almond milk, and vanilla to a blender.
- Blend until smooth. Serve immediately.
Notes
Eat the toast right away for the best texture. Smoothie is best fresh but can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 hours. Swap ricotta for goat cheese or use oat milk in the smoothie. Add spinach or protein powder for extra nutrients.
