We’ve made some tropical smoothies before, but this recipe takes the cake! After you take one sip, you’ll feel as though you are on an island, lounging by the beach. Who brought you such a delectable refreshment that was crafted from the island’s most flavorful produce items? That’s how delicious and refreshing this smoothie is. Is it the dragon fruit or the lime that sets off the flavor? You’ll have to make it to find out!

We have a confession to make, and it’s that adding dragon fruit to a smoothie is mainly for our social media videos. In fact, you’ll soon find the video for this recipe on our YouTube channel and Instagram. It’s an exotic fruit that looks like a poppyseed cake on the inside. Dragon fruit exhibits somewhat of a sweeter flavor profile, but it doesn’t have a strong flavor. Many people find it difficult to articulate exactly how it tastes, but it is an enjoyable fruit to eat. Make sure to discard the skin, as you do not want to add that to your smoothie. Additionally, dragon fruit is very low in calories, rich in fiber, and high in vitamin C and iron.

The banana provides both sweetness and creaminess, while the mango comes to the forefront with the signature sweet and mildly tart flavor. And then you have the lime juice, which may seem like an odd choice, but it takes this smoothie to another level. If it didn’t have the lime juice, it may not have made it on the website! We only have room for delicious recipes, people. The last thing to keep in mind is that it’s best to freeze the dragon fruit, banana, and mango prior to making the smoothie, but you don’t have to do that. Simply add ice if you choose not to freeze your fruit.
