Vibrant Dragon Fruit & Blueberry Smoothie
Ingredients
1 cup Red Dragon Fruit: Fresh or frozen (cubed).
1 medium Banana: Best if frozen to get that thick, creamy texture shown.
1/2 cup Blueberries: Fresh for topping, or frozen for the blend.
1/2 to 3/4 cup Liquid: Use coconut water for a light taste, or almond milk for extra creaminess.
Optional sweetener: A drizzle of honey or agave if your fruit isn’t quite sweet enough.
Instructions
Prep the Fruit: Peel the dragon fruit and cut it into cubes. Slice the banana. If you want the smoothie to be very thick (like the one in the glass), use frozen fruit.
Blend: Place the dragon fruit, banana, and half of the blueberries into a high-speed blender.
Add Liquid: Pour in your choice of liquid. Start with 1/2 cup and add more only if the blender is struggling.
Process: Blend on high until completely smooth and the color is uniform.
Assemble: To mimic the photo’s “deconstructed” look for a guest or a photo, you can layer fresh slices of banana and dragon fruit against the inside of a glass before pouring the smoothie in, or simply top the finished drink with the extra blueberries.
Why this works
Dragon Fruit: High in fiber and antioxidants.
Banana: Provides the base “creaminess” without needing dairy.
Blueberries: Adds a deep, tart complexity to the sweet tropical flavor.
