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.
