Why You’ll Love This Recipe
- Sweet & Tart: Thea combination of sweet apricots combined with raspberries gives this smoothie both sweet and tart flavors that pair perfectly together.
- Thick & Creamy: I use all frozen fruit and frozen mango to make this smoothie incredibly thick and creamy!
- Vitamin C Boost: I use Acerola Cherry powder for a vitamin C boost, one scoop has over 600% of your vitamin C.
- No Banana: If you are looking for a smoothie without banana, this is creamy and thick with no banana just like Strawberry Watermelon Smoothie With Collagen and Lemon Blueberry Smoothie.
Ingredients
- Apricots: I use frozen apricots, this is key for a thick smoothie. I just got apricots from my farm box and sliced them, added to a baking sheet and froze them. Once they are frozen, you can add to an airtight container and they won’t all clump together!
- Watermelon Juice: Organic watermelon juice is going to give this smoothie a sweet and light flavor, it pairs so well with the apricots and raspberries.
- Milk: I use organic coconut milk because it’s my favorite. But you can use cows milk, oat milk, almond milk or any other plant based milk you like.
- Acerola Cherry Powder: This is my secret ingredient, I love adding Acerola cherry powder to smoothies as it brings a big boost of vitamin C. You can leave this out if you don’t have it.

Tips for Raspberry Apricot Smoothie
- Use all frozen fruit for a thick and creamy smoothie.
- If you don't have raspberries, strawberries are a great option that will also be delicious with a similar flavor.
- You can use any kind of milk you like, almond milk, oat milk or even regular milk will work.
- If you don’t have watermelon juice, you can use all milk or even another kind of juice like orange juice or guava juice. But I highly recommend getting the watermelon juice for the best flavor!
- Use a blender tamper if you like really thick smoothies as this will help blend it up without having to add more liquid.

Recipe FAQ’s
Yes, the combination of slightly tart raspberries and sweet apricots go so well together!
Yes, it's sweetened naturally from real fruits and raw honey.
You can, but I don't recommend it. Frozen fruit is what will help give you a thick and creamy smoothie. Using fresh fruit will make it more watery. If need to use some fresh fruit, reduce the liquid and add in some ice cubes, this will help the mixture have a better texture and be thicker, like it should be.
Acerola cherry powder is a concentrated powder that's known for its high vitamin C content. The brand that I use has over 600% vitamin C per one scoop! I love adding it into smoothies for an extra immune system boost.
This barely has a flavor, but it's mildly sweet, you won't notice it at all in this smoothie because it blends in well with the fruity flavors.
If you don't have this, you can simply omit it. But, if you're looking for a similar vitamin C supplement, then camu camu powder has a similar amount of vitamin C and you can use that as well.
Absolutely! While watermelon juice gives this smoothie a light, refreshing sweetness, you can substitute orange juice, guava juice, apple juice, coconut water, or simply use additional milk. You will get a slightly different flavor, depending on what you use instead.
Yes! Feel free to add in your favorite collagen peptide powder or protein powder. You can also add in some plain Greek yogurt or even vanilla yogurt, add 1/2 cup to the smoothie for some extra protein, plus it will make it creamy!
Yes, this makes a great smoothie bowl. Add your favorite granola on top, chia seeds, or coconut flakes for a delicious breakfast idea.
Smoothies are best enjoyed immediately after blending, but you can store leftovers in an airtight jar in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Give it a good shake or stir before drinking, as some separation is natural.
Yes! Pour the blended smoothie into freezer-safe jars, silicone molds, or popsicle molds. Thaw slightly before enjoying, or blend again with a splash of milk if needed.
Ways to Enjoy
- I love adding a little apricot slice and a few raspberries on top!
- This makes a great morning smoothie with breakfast favorites like Fluffy Scrambled Eggs With Sour Cream, Homemade Blueberry Waffles Without Eggs, Homemade Sesame Bagels, Bone Broth Sausage Mushroom Frittata or Turkey Avocado Brunch Bowl.
- Make this into a smoothie bowl and add chia seeds, toasted coconut flakes and granola on top. Try it with Maple Cinnamon Olive Oil Granola or Honey Almond Coconut Granola.
