Can I use fresh dragon fruit?

Yes, you can use fresh dragon fruit. Cut the fruit in half, scoop out the flesh, and add it to the blender. Since it won’t be frozen, the texture of the smoothie won’t be as creamy. You can add ice, or dice the fresh dragon fruit flesh and freeze it before adding it to the blender.

The smoothie is too thick?

If the smoothie is too thick, add more water for a thinner smoothie.

The smoothie is too thin?

If the smoothie is too thin, add more frozen fruit, more banana, or whole chia seeds until the smoothie is thick enough.

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Add the frozen diced dragon fruit, hulled strawberries, frozen ripe brown spotted banana, one peeled kiwi, and one cup of water to a high-speed blender.
Blend until smooth.

Notes

Be sure to use a ripe kiwi if you don’t like the sour taste of unripe kiwis.

I prefer a combination of frozen and fresh components in a smoothie. If you use all fresh ingredients, the smoothie will have a thinner consistency and won’t be chilled. If you use all frozen ingredients, the smoothie may have an icy texture.
