Equipment
- Blender
- Knife
- Cutting board
- Measuring cups
- Smoothie bowl or glass
- Spoon or spatula
Ingredients
- 1 banana
- 1 medium-small pink dragonfruit
- 1 cup (150g) strawberries
- 1/2 cup (75g) pineapple
- 1/2 cup (125ml) milk of choice
- 1/2 tsp chia seeds
Instructions
- Use all frozen fruit: banana, pink dragonfruit, strawberries, and pineapple. Using frozen fruit gives the smoothie a thick, creamy, and chilled texture. If you prefer, you can use fresh fruit instead, but the smoothie will be slightly thinner and less cold. Add a few ice cubes if you want to maintain a chilled texture with fresh fruit.
- Add all the frozen fruit, chia seeds, and milk of choice to a blender. Blend on high until smooth and creamy.
- If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more milk and blend again until you reach your desired consistency.
- Pour the smoothie into a glass or bowl. Serve immediately for the best flavour, vibrant colour, and creamy texture.
Notes
- Frozen fruit: Using frozen banana, dragonfruit, strawberries, and pineapple creates a thick, creamy, and chilled smoothie. Fresh fruit can be used, but the texture will be slightly thinner. Add a few ice cubes if you want it cold.
- Milk options: Almond, oat, soy, coconut, or cow’s milk all work. Plant-based milk keeps it vegan; dairy milk adds extra creaminess.
- Sweetness: No added sugar is needed as the fruit is naturally sweet. If desired, add honey or maple syrup to taste.
- Chia seeds: Optional, but they add fiber, omega-3s, and subtle nutrition without affecting taste.
