A vibrant and tropical smoothie blending creamy mango with subtly sweet and tart dragonfruit puree, brightened with lime juice. Perfect for a quick, refreshing treat any time of day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (165g) frozen mango chunks
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) cold water or coconut water
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon honey or agave syrup (optional)
  • 1/2 cup (75g) frozen dragonfruit cubes or fresh dragonfruit pulp
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) cold water
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice (optional)
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) ice cubes
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) plain Greek yogurt or dairy-free yogurt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dragonfruit Puree: Peel and cube about half a fresh dragonfruit (approx. 75g) if using fresh. Place cubes in blender with 1/4 cup cold water and 1 teaspoon lime juice. Blend until smooth and vibrant pink. Optionally strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds. Set aside.
  2. Make the Mango Base: Add frozen mango chunks, 1/2 cup cold water or coconut water, 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice, and optional sweetener to blender. Blend until silky smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust sweetness or lime if needed.
  3. Combine the Smoothie: Add ice cubes and optional Greek yogurt to the mango base. Blend until ice is fully crushed and texture is thick but pourable. Add a splash of water if too thick and blend again.
  4. Assemble the Drink: Pour mango smoothie into serving glass, then gently spoon or pour dragonfruit puree over the top. Swirl lightly with a spoon or straw for layered effect.
  5. Serve Immediately: Garnish with a thin lime wheel or fresh mint leaves.

Notes

Use well-frozen mango and dragonfruit for best texture. Avoid overblending to keep bright colors and fresh flavor. Adjust liquid gradually to control smoothie thickness. Fresh lime juice is essential for brightness. Prepare dragonfruit puree separately to maintain vibrant color and flavor. Store dragonfruit puree refrigerated up to 2 days. Re-blend smoothie before serving if stored.
