Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients – Cut the dragon fruit, mango, and bananas into cubes or quarters if not already prepared. If using frozen fruits, no need to thaw beforehand.
- Add Ingredients to Blender – Place the cubed dragon fruit, mango, banana, coconut milk, lime juice, vanilla protein powder (if using), vanilla extract, Greek yogurt, and ice cubes into a high-speed blender.
- Blend Until Smooth – Blend all the ingredients on high speed until the mixture is very smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick, add a bit more milk to achieve your desired consistency.
- Serve – Pour the smoothie evenly into two glasses and enjoy immediately while cold and fresh.
Notes
- For a vegan version, use plant-based yogurt and protein powder.
- You can adjust the thickness by adding more or fewer ice cubes or milk.
- Add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup if you prefer extra sweetness.
- Use frozen fruits for a creamier, colder smoothie.
- Garnish with fresh dragon fruit slices or chia seeds for presentation.
