Instructions
- Place the coconut water in the blender. Add the dragon fruit, mango, pineapple, and banana. Blend on high speed until smooth. If the smoothie is very thick, you can use a tamper to push the ingredients down towards the blade get it to blend easier. Alternatively, you can stop the blender and scrape down the sides as needed.
- Pour into two glasses and serve.
Notes
- You can find frozen dragon fruit in cubes or smoothie packs in the freezer section of your grocery store- either one will work.

- smoothie packs
- Use frozen fruit for best results- it will give this pitaya smoothie a creamy texture without watering it down. If using fresh fruit, you can add a few ice cubes to the blender.
- You can also turn this dragon fruit smoothie into a smoothie bowl. Use half the amount of coconut water to make the smoothie thicker. Then, transfer it to a bowl, top it with your favorite smoothie bowl toppings, and dig in with a spoon!
