Expert Tips

Making delicious dragon fruit smoothies is a snap, but here are my favorite tips I’ve learned along the way:

Make smoothie packs for an almost instant breakfast or snack. Not a morning person? Me neither. To make these dragon fruit smoothies a little more accessible, I like to assemble all the ingredients (minus the liquids) in individual zip-top bags. When it comes time for breakfast, all I have to do is empty the bag into my blender, pour in my liquid, and flip a switch. Presto! Breakfast is served.

Turn it into a dragon fruit smoothie bowl by holding back on some of the liquid. On days when I have time to be a little more leisurely in the morning (or simply when I’m craving a bit more texture), I like to turn my smoothies into smoothie bowls. All it takes is removing a few tablespoons of liquid to create a thicker mixture which can then be topped with granola, more fruit, or nuts.

Cut back on prep time by buying frozen fruit. If you don’t want to break out your knife and cutting board, do yourself a favor and hit the frozen aisle. Bags of frozen fruit are just as healthy as fresh, are oftentimes cheaper, AND they have already been prepped for you. That’s a win-win-win, my friends.
