Pretty Pink Smoothie!
Dragon fruit smoothie is truly one of the prettiest smoothie colors ever! But aside from its color, this is a great smoothie if you want to switch up your smoothie game and try a different frozen fruit.
Fresh pink dragon fruit is sometimes hard to find, but the frozen one is easier to find. Just blend it with a banana, milk and protein powder if you’d like and you’ll have a pretty refreshing smoothie to sip on.
Happy Cooking!

Dragon Fruit Smoothie Ingredients
- Dragon Fruit: Look for frozen dragon fruit in the freezer section with other frozen fruits. It is sometimes called pitaya. You can also use fresh pink dragon fruit if you find it.
- Bananas: Go for ripe one if possible so it adds sweetness. You can switch it out for other tropical fruits like pineapple, mango, and passionfruit work well in this smoothie.
- Vanilla Protein Powder: Protein powder helps thicken the smoothie and adds a kick of protein. Check out my Protein Powder Guide For Beginners.
- Milk: Use any milk you’d like.

Recipe Tips
- Turn it into a smoothie bowl. Just use a frozen banana instead of a fresh one and only add ½ cup of milk. Dragon fruit smoothies are very popular as smoothie bowls because of how pretty they turn out!
- Use a high speed blender. If you don’t have one, be sure to blend for at least a couple of minutes so that it is perfectly smooth. This will especially help if you’re turning it into a smoothie bowl.
- Add a little water if the smoothie is too thick for your taste. Add a little at a time until you get the right consistency.
FAQs
This recipe makes two smoothies, meant to be consumed immediately. However, if you have any leftovers, you can refrigerate them for up to 24 hours in a covered container.
Like most smoothies, this dragon fruit smoothie freezes very well. Just place the smoothie in an air-tight, freezer-safe container and freeze it for up to 3 months. It’s a great recipe to make in bulk for a quick snack!
Comments
I left out the cauliflower and added chocolate whey powder and it was amazing. Of course I have issues with textures so I made sure to blend for two mins.
I love that idea too! Yay!
Do I have to use cauliflower and protein powder in this smoothie?
You can leave out the protein powder, but I would recommend adding another fruit (e.g. more dragon fruit/ banana) in place of the cauliflower to help with the texture.
How do you get the smoothie pink if we only use a cup of the inside of the fruit? Are you putting the whole fruit skin and all in it?
You’ll want to use red dragonfruit, as the inside is a hot pink color that adds to the color of the smoothie.
