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, banana, or whole chia seeds until the smoothie is thick enough.
