I needed to refuel and hydrate quickly. This did the trick!

Replenishing Apricot Green Smoothie

I find joy in the abundance of fruits which are in season this time of year. I love all of the stone fruits but I am not as familiar with fresh apricots. They caught my daughter’s eye at the grocery store and into the cart they went. I like how the apricots ripened much faster [...]
