Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons pitaya powder
  • 1 cup mango frozen
  • 1 cup banana frozen
  • 1 cup almond milk
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice

Instructions

  • In a blender, combine all ingredients.
  • I started out with one tablespoon of dragon fruit powder, which created a soft pink smoothie. To get an intense hot pink like my photographs, you will need three tablespoons of pitaya powder.
  • Blend until smooth.
  • Optionally, garnish the smoothie with pieces of fresh dragon fruit. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • The top flavors that come through on this smoothie are mango and lime. For a more intense tropical flavor, try adding more lime juice and some frozen pineapple if you have it on hand.
  • Keep dragon fruit powder on hand for this recipe. It’s also great for any other recipe you want to turn hot pink.
  • My favorite way to serve smoothies is with these glass straws.
