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.
