Ingredients
Fruits
- ½ cup frozen dragon fruit, cubed
- ½ cup frozen mango, cubed
- ⅓ cup frozen strawberries
Additional Ingredients
- 1-2 tablespoons protein powder of choice (optional, unflavored collagen peptides recommended)
- ⅔-¾ cup unsweetened milk of choice (e.g., oat milk), regular or vegan
- Chia seeds for topping
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all frozen fruits including dragon fruit, mango, and strawberries. Measure out protein powder if using, and the unsweetened milk.
- Blend Smoothie: Add the frozen dragon fruit, mango, strawberries, protein powder, and unsweetened milk into a blender. Blend on high until smooth and creamy, making sure no chunks remain. If the mixture is too thick, gradually add a little more milk until the desired consistency is reached.
- Serve and Garnish: Pour the smoothie into a glass and top with chia seeds for added texture and nutrition. Serve immediately for the freshest taste.
Notes
- Use frozen fruit to create a thick, cold smoothie without adding ice that can dilute flavors.
- Adjust protein powder quantity based on dietary needs or omit if preferred.
- Unsweetened plant-based milk like oat milk keeps it vegan and low in added sugars.
- Chia seeds add a nutritional boost with omega-3s and fiber.
- Double the ingredients to make two servings easily.
