Notes
1. Tinned apricots work fantastically in this smoothie. In fact, I prefer them to fresh (and it's not often I favour tinned fruit). 2. I garnished my smoothie with freshly ground vanilla flakes from a vanilla grinder. These little pots last a long time and are great for perking up drinks and cream.
