How beautiful are dragon fruits!

Have you ever seen one? They are absolutely stunning, with their white or pink flesh speckled with tiny flavorful black seeds.

Also known as pitaya, they have a mild fragrant flavor. I personally find the pink ones a tad sweeter, which is why I used them in this dragon fruit smoothie.

This smoothie is not only cold and satisfying but it's an excellent way to incorporate more fruit into your diet. For a summery twist, try my smoothie variation with peach.

The complete list of ingredients with measurements, can be found in the full recipe card below.

I usually use frozen ripe bananas when making any plant-based smoothies, but this time I used frozen dragon fruit and fresh bananas. I always try to use a combination of both frozen and fresh fruit to ensure my smoothies turn out thick.

If you're using fresh dragon fruit and banana, you can also add a cup of ice to help achieve that nice consistency.

Instead of almond milk, which I normally use, like in this avo and banana combo, I added coconut water and I was super happy with the results.

Janelle's Tips

If you've tried any of my other smoothie recipes, you may have noticed that I like to use a single Medjool date as a natural sweetener. This is optional, so do a taste test to see if you prefer to add it in.

Another delicious smoothie to try is this pineapple banana and mango combination.

Did you make this? I'd love to know! Leave me a comment below with a ★★★★★ star rating or tag @plantbasedfolk  on social media.

Notes

Any blender will work, however, a high powered blender is the quickest and will yield a smoother result. If your blender doesn’t have a smoothie setting, just blend until all the contents are blended.
Feel free to adjust the quantities of the ingredients to suit your liking.  
You might also want to try my other smoothies with banana such as this one with green apples or strawberry and blackberry.

    I used 1 TBSP Kate Naturals premium Dragon Fruit powder in place of fresh, added 2 TBSP Flaxseed Meal because I do to all smoothies, and few pieces of ice. Honestly I'm not sure the impact of powder vs fresh but the result was DELICIOUS. I know it added iron, some potassium, and natural color. The coconut water and date is nutrition in itself.
    Flaxseed doesn't do anything to flavor of course but the Omega-3s and fiber ... prized by the ancients, wisdom of the ages, is enough for me.
    This is simple and oh so good, a keeper for sure. Thank you for such a quick, healthy, delicious smoothie.
