I made this for toddler DD and myself to share but because of the thickness added some milk to hers to thin it out a little. This was lovely and creamy and a great after kinder snack, the only thing miss DD complained about was the "chunky" bits of raisin that hadn't quite blended properly. If I make again I think I will soak the raisins to make them a bit softer & thus easier to blend. Thanks for posting this healthy & nutricious snack!

This recipe makes a very nutritious, creamy smoothie that looks very pretty in the glass and has an interesting taste. It either needs a little sweetener or very ripe bananas, or maybe both.

This is a great drink! The lemon zest really makes the flavour for me. I made two very minor changes - one, I added an extra apricot (the one looked so small all by itself) and two, I blended the fruit, nuts and nectar first before adding the other ingredients, since I wasn't sure whether my blender would get the nuts smooth enough otherwise. Texture was lovely and smooth in the end. Thanks for this recipe!

I have made this twice now for my breakfast and even with changing the raisins to sultanas (thats all I had!) and using a frozen banana in place of the banana & ice cubes and adding a little apricot yoghurt the first time,it also worked well with using a 150g pottle of apricot yogurt in place of the dried milk the second time of making (other ingredients as for first time). Either way its a sure winner for me
