What’s Dragon Fruit (Pitaya)?

Dragon fruit, also known as Pitaya, is a tropical fruit native to Mexico and Central America. It has a very mild sweet taste like a combination of a Kiwi and a pear. Its flesh is so tender that you can scoop it with a spoon! In this recipe I used the less common type of Pitaya with pink pulp, the most widely available variety has white pulp, and both are considered a nutrient-dense fruit given the high amount of fiber and magnesium and a low-calorie content.

Ingredients

To make this incredibly fun and beautiful dairy free smoothie you will need:

  • Pitaya: You can buy fresh pink pitaya, cut into cubes, and freeze to use in this smoothie. Or you can purchase the pre-packaged frozen fruit from Pitaya Foods. The dragon fruit adds a beautiful color to this smoothie, if using fresh make sure the label says red / pink pitaya as all the varieties look the same on the outside.
  • Strawberries: Use frozen strawberries to add a special flavor to this smoothie.
  • Banana: Use frozen to give a great creamy texture to this smoothie. If you’d like less thick you can use fresh bananas. If you don’t like bananas or have allergies, you can substitute it for mangos.
  • Apple Juice: I wanted to make this a dairy free smoothie, so tried using apple juice and the flavor turned out amazing! Make sure you use a sugar free 100% apple juice if making this for littles younger than 2 years old.

How to Make the Best Dragon Fruit Smoothie

Using a high-speed blender, add all the ingredients and blend until smooth and creamy.

Tips

  • Add the juice first to facilitate blending. If you don’t have a good blender you may need to add the frozen fruits in steps!
  • You can double the recipe and make popsicles, I bet the kids will love!
