This made 2 huge glasses that the DM and DS thoroughly enjoyed for breakfast. I just put the ingredients into a large jug and stick blended the lot leaving a few chunky bits of apricot which they really liked. Thank you Sydney Mike made for Almost 5 Tag Game.

This is so refreshing. I love the combination of apricots and orange juice. It's a nice breakfast drink, although since today is a hot day, I might make it again later on.

Great!! I had fresh apricots to use up that I finely chopped and I also used fresh-squeezed O.J. Made the day start off just right! Thanks for posting, SydneyMike. Made for ZWT 6.
