🍹 Vibrant Dragon Fruit Smoothie

Prep time: 5 minutes | Servings: 1

1 pack (3.5 oz) frozen red dragon fruit (or 1 cup frozen cubes)
1 cup frozen mango or pineapple (adds sweetness and creaminess)
1/2 banana (fresh or frozen)
1/2 cup liquid of choice (coconut milk, almond milk, or coconut water)
1 tsp lime juice (optional, but brightens the flavor)
Toppings: Fresh dragon fruit slices (as seen in your photo) and a sprinkle of hemp seeds or shredded coconut.

Layer the Liquid: Pour your milk or coconut water into the blender first. This helps the blades spin freely and prevents “air pockets.”
Add Solids: Add the frozen dragon fruit, mango/pineapple, and banana.
Blend: Start on a low speed and gradually increase to high. Blend until completely smooth. If it’s too thick, add an extra splash of liquid.
Style: Pour into a glass. Garnish with two triangular slices of dragon fruit on the rim and sprinkle hemp seeds on top to match your image!

The “Pink” Secret: If you use white-fleshed dragon fruit, the smoothie will be light purple or greyish. For that neon pink in the photo, Red Pitaya is a must.
Texture: If you want a “smoothie bowl” consistency (thicker), use less liquid and keep all your fruit frozen.
Sweetness: Dragon fruit is mildly sweet. If you prefer a sweeter drink, add a drizzle of honey or agave nectar.
