Most of my random recipes begin with me picking up new things to try at bulk food stores. This week at Sam’s club, I saw this bag of plumcots. I had never eaten a plumcot before and was curious.
Plumcots are a mix of plums and apricots. This blend I found says that it has flavors of melon and pineapple. However, I also taste apricots and a bit of plum. Generally, I’m don’t like plums; I don’t like the mushy texture. Regardless of what the exact flavor is – the texture is crisp, yet soft, and the flavor is refreshing. It’s perfect in a smoothie! My daughter gave it an A -. She’s a tough critic, but then she asked what an A- means; 7-year-olds are so funny. I give it an A+, and I’m a tough teacher. I felt that I had to post it today because these plumcots are only in season for 4 – 5 weeks and this smoothie rules. Run and buy some plumcots ASAP!
This peachy plumcot smoothie is simple, easy, healthy, and delicious! It features Young Living NingXia Red, which is a whole-body supplement drink that is packed with superfoods including wolfberry, plum, aronia, cherry, blueberry, and pomegranate juices and extracts. NingXia Red benefits include support for energy levels, normal cellular function, and whole-body and normal eye health.* We also like to make popsicles with it, add it to our smoothies, and take a shot glass of it in the morning, because it’s full of immune-boosting antioxidants! You can buy it here.

I’d seriously never heard of a plumcot until you posted this on FB the other day! Now I’m going to hunt them down when it’s summer here so I can try this!
When you find them, let me know! I was at the grocery store and I saw some more plum-ish ones. I was tempted, but I had to eat the entire bulk bag first. I only have two left. I may go just test the difference types this week. HAHA. Making the most of the 4 – 6 week season!
I’ve never tried plumcots.. actually I’ve never even heard of it! They look good though and I’m always up to trying new things! Especially a smoothie! 🙂
I’m glad that I’m not the only one that had never tried one! I was like – how have I never heard of this? It is really a thing?! HAHAHAHA.
Go find one and let me know what you think! I think this one has more of an apricot flavor than plum… I want to start sampling varieties and compare.
I’m not a huge plum fan either. I do have two samples of NingXia Red, though!
Try it! I used blueberries instead of cherries in this recipe the other day. Or, if you’re not daring to try the plumcot – you can try one of your NingXia packets, 1 banana, 1 cup of frozen blueberries. Use those packets of NingXia!
Ooh I have never heard of this but this looks delicious, will have to keep an eye out!
Nice, I love trying new things.. Ca’t wait to get a taste of this smoothie!!
I didn’t have the exact ingredients on hand, but seeing this post forced me to make a smoothie this morning!
I love a good smoothie
I’ve never heard of a plumcot before! I wonder if they exist in the UK?!
I don’t know, because I had no idea that they existed here! Let me know if you find them! I don’t think they get enough press 🙂
Yummy!
This looks appealing…I’ll love to try it out
Looks absolutely delicious! I will try this out. Thank you for sharing and also thank you for visiting my blog. 🙂
