Ingredient Notes & Substitutions:

For a full ingredient list with quantities, please check out the recipe card at the bottom of this post.

• Frozen Dragon Fruit – Adds vibrant color and a mild, slightly sweet flavor; look for pre-cut frozen pieces in the freezer aisle or specialty section.
• Frozen Mango – Adds natural sweetness and a creamy texture; pineapple works as a swap if you’re out of mango.
• Frozen Raspberries – Balances the sweetness with a little tartness and boosts the pink color; frozen strawberries work too.
• Lime Juice – Brightens up the tropical flavors; fresh-squeezed is best.
• Milk – Use any milk you like — dairy, almond, oat, or soy all work well.
• Protein Powder – Strawberry, vanilla, or unflavored all work here; choose based on how sweet you want the final smoothie.

How to Make a Dragon Fruit Smoothie

For complete instructions, please check out the recipe card at the bottom of this post.

1. Add the frozen dragon fruit, frozen mango, frozen raspberries, lime juice, milk, and protein powder to a blender.
2. Blend until smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides if needed.
3. Add a splash more milk if it’s too thick to blend easily.
4. Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately.

Tips and Variations

• Boost the Creaminess – Add a splash of coconut milk or a spoonful of Greek yogurt for an even creamier texture.
• Adjust the Sweetness – Use vanilla or strawberry protein powder for a naturally sweeter smoothie, or unflavored if you want the fruit to shine.
• Make It Thicker – Use less milk and eat it with a spoon for a smoothie bowl instead (or just go for my meal prep-friendly pitaya bowl!).
• No Fresh Lime? – Bottled lime juice works in a pinch, just start with a little less since it can be more concentrated.

Meal Prep & Storage

Refrigerator – Best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 1 day (it will separate slightly — just give it a stir, shake, or quick re-blend).

Freezer – Not recommended once blended. Instead, you can pour the pre-blended smoothie into an ice cube tray for smoothie cubes you can add to other smoothies later, or you can freeze in popsicle molds for some pitaya pops!
