Apricot-mint smoothie is a refreshing and healthy drink with hints of summer. Its roots trace back to traditional Russian cuisine, where fruit and dairy drinks are valued for their nutrition and lightness.

This smoothie is perfect for morning awakening, a light snack, or a refreshing drink on a hot day. It can be garnished with whole mint leaves for added aesthetics and aroma. The simple yet exquisite combination of ingredients makes it not only tasty but also beneficial for health. One sip — and you'll feel closer to sunny days and carefree summer relaxation.
