Ingredients
Instructions
- Blend apricot halves, yogurt, and dried milk powder until smooth.
- Pour the mixture into a tall glass and add club soda before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For an extra creamy texture, use full-fat yogurt. If you prefer a sweeter drink, consider adding a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup to the blend. You can substitute the canned apricot halves with fresh apricots when in season for a brighter flavor. If club soda is unavailable, sparkling water works just as well to add fizz. This drink can also be made with other fruits like peaches or mangoes.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this refreshing Apricot Yogurt Fizz over ice in a tall glass for a vibrant presentation. It pairs beautifully with light snacks such as veggie sticks or a slice of Passover Carrot-Nut Cake. For a complete meal, consider serving it alongside a light salad or a brunch spread featuring other vegetarian recipes.
Storage & Reheating
This drink is best served fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. If you have leftovers, keep them in an airtight container. When ready to enjoy again, give it a gentle stir and add a little more club soda to restore the fizz before serving.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen apricots instead of canned?
Yes, frozen apricots can be used if thawed and drained before blending. They will give you a similar flavor profile and texture. Just ensure they are well-drained to avoid adding too much liquid to the mixture.
Is it possible to make this recipe dairy-free?
Absolutely! You can substitute the yogurt with a dairy-free yogurt alternative made from almond, coconut, or soy. Additionally, use a non-dairy milk powder if available, or simply omit it for a lighter drink.
How can I make this drink more fruity?
To enhance the fruitiness of the Apricot Yogurt Fizz, consider adding a handful of fresh berries or a banana to the blender. This not only boosts the flavor but also adds a lovely color and additional nutrients to the drink.
