Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon date syrup
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- ½ banana (sliced)
- 1 ½ cups frozen dragon fruit
Instructions
- Put unsweetened almond milk, date syrup, chia seeds, banana, and frozen dragon fruit into a blender. Secure lid. Place ingredients into the blender in the order listed.
- Blend until smooth. Start the blender on LOW speed for 10 seconds. Increase speed to HIGH for a full minute.
- Pour smoothie into a cup. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Instead of almond milk, you can use dairy milk or other plant-based options like soy milk or oat milk.
- For the best flavor and texture, only use ripe bananas. Avoid unripe bananas, which are green and too firm.
- If freezing your own dragon fruit, cut it into cubes before putting it in the freezer.
- Omit the date syrup for a less sweet drink.
- Add some milk if the smoothie is too thick. Blend for another 10 seconds to combine.
- Refrigerate leftover smoothie in an airtight jar for 1-2 days. If the ingredients separate, mix the smoothie before drinking.
