Dragonfruit Smoothie

This Dragonfruit Smoothie is healthy and beautiful!  It will brighten your morning and keep you charged until lunch.  {gluten free, vegan}

I love smoothies for a quick healthy breakfast or snack because they are loaded with goodness.  I would never eat straight up flaxseeds but hide them in this Dragonfruit Smoothie and I am in.  I also love these Simple Green Smoothies.  

Smoothies are also a great way to get your kids to eat healthy because they look like milkshakes and they usually taste pretty sweet from the fruit.  Dragonfruit, also known as pitaya, has a unique sweet flavor.  

Ingredients

• dragonfruit cubes
• banana
• flaxseeds
• coconut water

Instructions

Place all ingredients into a blender and blitz.  Done! Add more or less coconut water to get your desired consistency.

Well, I got mine at Safeway in the frozen section.  These bite sized cubes are the bomb of dragonfruit.  They are already cubed and frozen so I don't add any ice to my smoothie.
