Dragonfruit Passionfruit Mango Smoothie

Pro tips

• Use frozen fruit, not fresh, to achieve a thick, creamy consistency without needing excessive ice.
• Blend frozen ingredients first with half the milk, then add remaining milk to control thickness and prevent over-blending.
• Add granola just before serving or on top to maintain crunch; blending it in will break it down into powder.
• Passionfruit is tart; adjust sweetness by using sweeter milk (coconut or vanilla) or adding a drizzle of honey if needed.

Substitutions

• Frozen dragonfruit → frozen lychee or frozen white dragon fruit (swaps color but maintains tropical tartness)
• Frozen passionfruit → frozen guava or frozen pineapple (similar tartness and tropical flavor)
• Milk of choice → Greek yogurt mixed with 1/2 cup milk (adds protein and creaminess)

Storage & make-ahead

Blend fresh and consume immediately for best texture. Frozen fruit components can be mixed and stored in a freezer container for up to 1 week.

Can I use fresh dragonfruit instead of frozen?

Yes, but use frozen mango and passionfruit to achieve the thick, creamy texture. Fresh fruit alone will make the smoothie too thin.

What milk works best for this smoothie?

Coconut milk, almond milk, oat milk, or dairy milk all work well. Coconut milk adds tropical richness; oat milk creates creaminess.

Can I make this without granola?

Yes. The granola is optional and adds crunch. Skip it for a drinkable smoothie or include it for a thicker, spoon-able texture.

How much ice should I add?

Start with 1/4 cup crushed ice and blend, adding more as needed. Frozen fruit already provides thickness, so add sparingly to avoid over-dilution.

Can I prep this smoothie in advance?

Combine frozen fruits in a container and freeze up to 1 week. Blend with milk and ice fresh to prevent separation and maintain texture.
