Pretty smoothies are the best smoothies! At least that’s my theory. đ Especially when a pretty 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’s also deliciously refreshing!
It’s also soooo perfect for this hot weather! There’s nothing I want more these days than something cold after a sweaty workout in the heat (hellllooooo Upper-Body Bleacher Workout & Core Bleacher Workout)!
No but seriously, let’s talk about that post-hot-weather-sweaty-workout thing for sec. I’m not sure if we’ve talked about this before, but it’s super important to recover well from workouts! For me, that typically means a good stretch, lots of water, and a protein shake.
A good shaker bottle makes all the difference, y’all. This week I tried out the Genuine ThermosÂŽÂ Shaker Bottle and was completely blown away about how easy it is to use! It’s easy to take with you on your workout, easy to mix your protein shake in, and super super easy to clean. Doesn’t get any better than that!
In addition to protein shakes, this Dragon Fruit Smoothie with Goji Berries makes a great recovery drink! Think the best ever tropical drink meets healthy benefits. That is THIS.
Is Dragon Fruit a Superfood?
Oh yes, dragon fruits are not only super pretty, pink and delicious but they are packed with antioxidants and high in vitamin C containing 15% of your daily recommended intake. It’s also found to have anti-inflammatory properties and help lower cholesterol.
