Creamy Avocado & Dragon Fruit Smoothie

Creamy Avocado & Dragon Fruit Smoothie

Ingredients

  • 1/2 medium Avocado (ripe, for creaminess)

  • 1/2 White Dragon Fruit (peeled and cubed; use frozen for a thicker texture)

  • 1 cup Milk of choice (Almond, Coconut, or Soy milk work best for this flavor profile)

  • 1 tbsp Honey or Maple Syrup (to taste)

  • 1/2 frozen Banana (optional, for extra sweetness and thickness)

  • Splash of Lime juice (optional, to brighten the flavor and keep the avocado green)

Instructions

  1. Prep the Fruit: Cut the dragon fruit in half and scoop out the white flesh with the black seeds. Do the same for the avocado.

  2. Blend: Place the avocado, dragon fruit, milk, and sweetener into a high-speed blender.

  3. Process: Blend on high until completely smooth. The black seeds will remain intact but smaller, giving it the signature speckled look seen in your photo.

  4. Serve: Pour into a tall glass.

  5. Garnish: To match the photo, cut a small triangular wedge or use a melon baller on a fresh piece of dragon fruit and place it on the rim of the glass.

Why this combination works:

  • The Texture: Avocado contains healthy fats that act as a natural thickener, making the smoothie feel like a milkshake.

  • The Flavor: Dragon fruit has a very mild, slightly sweet flavor (similar to a cross between a kiwi and a pear), which complements the buttery, neutral taste of the avocado perfectly.
