Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen dragon fruit (140 g)
- 1 banana
- ½ to 1 cup milk, can use dairy-free (120 to 240 mL)
Optional Smoothie Enhancers
- 1 Tbsp chia, flax, or hemp seeds
- 1 Tbsp nut butter
- ½ scoop protein powder
- ½ cup spinach or kale (will make the color less pretty)
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather 1 cup of frozen dragon fruit, 1 banana, and ½ cup of milk to start. Additional milk can be added later for desired consistency.
- Blend Smoothie: Place the frozen dragon fruit, banana, and initial milk amount into a blender. Blend until smooth, adding more milk as necessary to reach your preferred texture.
- Add Enhancers (Optional): If desired, incorporate one or two smoothie enhancers such as chia seeds, nut butter, protein powder, or greens, then blend again for an extra boost of nutrition.
- Serve and Enjoy: Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- If you don’t like bananas, replace with ½ cup plain or vanilla yogurt for creaminess.
- Smoothie enhancers include 1 Tbsp chia, flax, or hemp seeds; 1 Tbsp nut butter; ½ scoop protein powder; or ½ cup spinach or kale (note that greens will alter the smoothie’s vibrant pink color).
- Storage: Keep the smoothie in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reblend with ice before drinking to refresh.
- Freezer option: Pour leftover smoothie into ice cube molds and freeze. To use, let the cubes soften for 5-10 minutes at room temperature then reblend with a splash of milk or water.
