Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup pineapple chunks
- 1 cup dragon fruit (frozen or fresh)
- 1 cup oat milk
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon agave syrup (optional)
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and ensure they are fresh and ripe. If using frozen dragon fruit, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to slightly soften.
- Wash the fresh pineapple chunks thoroughly and pat dry. If using pre-cut pineapple, ensure it's free from excess moisture.
- Place the pineapple chunks and dragon fruit into a high-powered blender. The combination of these fruits will provide a vibrant, tropical flavor profile.
- Pour the oat milk into the blender, ensuring it covers the fruit for smooth blending.
- Add chia seeds to the mixture. These will provide additional nutrition and help create a slightly thicker texture.
- If desired, drizzle in the agave syrup for additional sweetness. This step is optional and can be adjusted to personal taste preference.
- Secure the blender lid and blend on high speed for 45-60 seconds, or until the mixture is completely smooth and no fruit chunks remain.
- Stop the blender and scrape down the sides with a spatula to ensure all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness or thickness by adding more agave syrup or oat milk if needed.
- Pour the smoothie into two glasses, filling them evenly.
- Optional: Garnish with a small dragon fruit slice or sprinkle additional chia seeds on top for presentation.
- Serve immediately while the smoothie is cold and fresh. Best enjoyed right after preparation.
Tips
- Choose Ripe Ingredients: For the best flavor, select fresh, ripe pineapple and dragon fruit. If using frozen dragon fruit, allow it to soften slightly at room temperature for easier blending.
- Blend for Smoothness: Make sure to blend the mixture on high speed for at least 45-60 seconds. This will ensure a silky-smooth texture without any chunks.
- Adjust Sweetness: Taste your smoothie before serving! If you prefer a sweeter flavor, add more agave syrup to suit your taste.
- Experiment with Add-Ins: Feel free to customize your smoothie by adding other ingredients like spinach for extra nutrients, or a scoop of protein powder for a post-workout boost.
- Presentation Matters: For a beautiful finish, garnish your smoothie with a slice of dragon fruit or a sprinkle of chia seeds on top before serving.
- Serve Cold: Enjoy your smoothie immediately for the best taste and texture. If you’re making it ahead of time, store it in the fridge and give it a good shake before drinking.
