Dragon Fruit Smoothie Recipe

Start Your Day with a Simple Dragon Fruit Smoothie!

Pretty smoothies are the best smoothies! At least that’s my theory. Especially when this beautiful smoothie is rich with antioxidants, vitamin C, vitamin A, iron, and fiber! This Dragon Fruit Smoothie is not only amazing for your body, but it also tastes deliciously refreshing. I love making it ahead of time and freezing individual servings for quick and easy breakfasts, or having it fresh as a dairy-free treat!

Dragon Fruit Smoothie Ingredients

Dragon Fruit (Pitaya) – Frozen dragon fruit is the key ingredient in this smoothie recipe. Whether it’s cubed frozen dragon fruit or dragon fruit smoothie packs, this tropical fruit is delicious! Fresh dragon fruit works great, too.

Frozen Berries – Strawberries or raspberries are my personal favorite to pair with dragon fruit, but any type of frozen berries will work. Blackberries, blueberries, or a mix of all of them!

Banana – Ripe banana brings the smoothie together. It also thickens and and adds sweetness the recipe! Another option is to use frozen bananas if that’s what you have on hand.

Unsweetened Coconut Milk – The coconut milk gives this smoothie a tropical flavor! However, feel free to use almond milk (or any type of milk).

Goji Berries – One of my favorite parts of this smoothie are the goji berries! Whether you’re adding them as a topping or blending them in, they are so delicious and add a ton of nutrition.
