Ingredients to Make a Dragon Fruit Smoothie:
- Dragon Fruit: fresh or frozen. I’ve found it’s much easier to find frozen dragon fruit that is much cheaper than fresh dragon fruit.
- Strawberries: to compliment the light flavor of the dragon fruit.
- Coconut Water: I like to use this for the neutral flavor and boost of electrolytes.
- Lime Juice: to balance out the sweet flavor of the dragon fruit and strawberries
- Maple Syrup: for added sweetness, but this is optional.
How to Make a Dragon Fruit Smoothie:
- Add the dragon fruit, strawberries, coconut water, lime juice, and maple syrup to a blender.
- Blend until smooth.
- Enjoy right away.
Fruits & Liquids that Pair well with this Dragon Fruit Smoothie Recipe:
- Frozen Mango
- Banana
- Lychee
- Watermelon
In place of the coconut water…
- Coconut Milk
- Almond Milk
- Soy Milk
Things to Add to Your Smoothie to Make it More Nutritious:
- Protein Boost: Add a scoop of protein powder of your choice. I’d recommend a fruit-flavored or vanilla protein powder that won’t clash with the fruit in the smoothie.
- Greek Yogurt: I recommend plain Greek yogurt for a boost of protein and to make the smoothie creamier.
- Add Superfoods: a tablespoon of chia seeds, hemp seeds, or ground flax seeds are all great ways to add healthy fats, fiber, and minerals to your smoothie without changing the flavor.
- Extra Fruit: the choices are totally up to you.
- More Greens: add raw or cooked kale, chard, or collard greens for an added boost of nutrition.
- Neutral Veggies: cauliflower is excellent to add to this smoothie for more veggie power.
