Creamy Mango Apricot Smoothie

This mango apricot smoothie is like dessert in a glass.  What is so amazing is that with  just a three different fruit whipped up in a blender in less than one minute you can have a perfect meal ready to go! There is no added sugar in this smoothie, there is absolutely no need for it.  The key is using really ripe, fresh fruit.  When fruit is ripe the natural sugars in it are naturally so sweet you won’t need to add anything else.  The simplicity of  ripe, whole, organic, raw fruit blended is really a treat in itself.  No dairy, soy or added sweetener needed here!  So I invite you to enjoy the simplicity of this smoothie and its natural sweetness and share it with your family and friends.
