Dragon Fruit Smoothie
Description
The Dragon Fruit Smoothie brings together vibrant dragon fruit and bananas with cauliflower florets and vanilla protein powder, blended with milk of choice. The cauliflower adds a subtle earthiness and thickens the smoothie without overpowering the fruity flavors. Using frozen fruit and vegetables helps achieve a chilled, creamy texture reminiscent of a milkshake.
Its smooth consistency and mildly sweet flavor come from the ripeness of the fruit combined with vanilla protein powder, offering a balanced taste. The option to adjust milk quantity allows for customizing thickness and sweetness.
This smoothie can be poured into any glass or jar for sipping right away, or sealed and refrigerated for up to 24 hours to accommodate on-the-go consumption. Using a high-speed blender ensures well-blended consistency without chunks.
Storage notes advise keeping leftovers in an airtight container to maintain freshness, with consuming soon after blending recommended for best flavor and texture.
Ingredients
- 1 cup dragon fruit frozen or fresh
- 2 banana frozen or fresh
- ½ cup cauliflower frozen, florets
- 2 tablespoons protein powder vanilla
- 1 ½ cup milk of choice
Instructions
- Place all the ingredients in a high-speed blender, and blend for 60-120 seconds until you get a smooth and creamy texture.
- Taste the smoothie, adding more milk if it is too thick or adding more sweetener if it’s not sweet enough for you.
- Pour into a cup or mason jar. Enjoy cold immediately, or store in fridge for up to 24 hours.
Notes
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator, consuming within 24 hours for best quality.
- For smoothest results, use a high-powered blender like a Vitamix with a dedicated smoothie setting.
- Enjoy immediately if possible, but chilled storage is fine for up to a day.
