Recipe Tips

• Use Frozen Fruit: Frozen dragon fruit and banana make the smoothie extra creamy and cold.
• Adjust Sweetness: If your banana isn’t very ripe, add a touch of honey, agave, or stevia.
• Choose Your Protein: Whey blends smoothly, but plant-based protein works too.
• Texture Control: Add more almond milk for a thinner smoothie, or extra ice for thicker.

Smoothie Variations

• Tropical Twist: Blend in pineapple or mango for extra sweetness and flavor.
• Green Boost: Add a handful of spinach. It won’t change the flavor but adds nutrients.
• Vegan Option: Use plant-based protein powder and non-dairy yogurt for extra creaminess.
• Chocolate Dragon: Swap vanilla protein powder for chocolate for a richer, dessert-like taste.
• Superfood Add-In: Sprinkle in chia seeds or ground flax for fiber and omega-3s.
