Oat and Apricot kickstarter
We have been photographing, cooking and blogging for a little while now and are still really loving it. But even we find it hard to get up and photographing some mornings, however this oatmeal and apricot smoothie has got to be my favorite motivator. Get blending and get a kick start to your day.
This low GI oatmeal and apricot smoothie is great for breakfast as it will give you a jump start to the day and keep you going until lunch.

Smoothie Tips
- Substitute the oats for your favourite muesli to create an even more delicious breakfast smoothie.
- While yoghurt may taste nice, milk or juice will make thinner but just as good smoothie.
I love this idea so much! Just wish I had some apricots so I could make it tomorrow!
Thank Charissa, The oats do go really well with Apricots but you could easily add oats into any of your smoothies to add some flavor, texture and that little bit extra. Got to love drinks in jars like your Carrot apple Juice

What type of oats do you recommend for this recipe?
We just used standard rolled oats, they get blended rather well so their quality is not so important. Looking at this smoothie again makes me want one, think Ill go buy some apricots today.
