Instructions
- Gather Ingredients: Start by gathering all the ingredients: 1 cup of frozen mango chunks, 1/2 cup of frozen dragon fruit chunks, 1/2 cup of coconut milk, 1/4 cup of pineapple juice, 1 tablespoon of honey, 1/2 teaspoon of lime juice, and 1/2 cup of ice cubes.
- Add Mango to Blender: Place the frozen mango chunks into the blender, ensuring they are evenly distributed at the bottom to help with blending.
- Add Dragon Fruit: Add the frozen dragon fruit chunks on top of the mango, spreading them out evenly to mix with the mango during blending.
- Pour Coconut Milk: Pour in the coconut milk carefully so that it evenly covers the fruit, adding creaminess to the smoothie.
- Add Pineapple Juice: Pour the pineapple juice over the fruit and coconut milk to add a tropical sweetness and slight tartness.
- Add Honey: Measure and squeeze the honey into the blender, ensuring precise measurement to avoid clumping and balance sweetness.
- Add Lime Juice: Add 1/2 teaspoon of lime juice, which provides a hint of tanginess enhancing the fruit flavors.
- Add Ice Cubes: Place the ice cubes into the blender, which help chill and thicken the smoothie.
- Secure Lid: Secure the blender lid tightly to prevent spills during blending.
- Start Blending Low: Begin blending at a low speed to break up frozen fruit chunks gently without straining the motor.
- Increase Speed and Blend: Gradually increase the blender speed to high, blending the mixture until smooth and creamy with no large ice or fruit chunks remaining.
- Check Consistency: Stop blending and check the texture; if it’s too thick, add a small amount of coconut milk or pineapple juice to reach your preferred consistency.
- Pour Smoothie: Once smooth, pour the smoothie into a glass, filling it evenly.
- Garnish: Optionally garnish with fresh mango or dragon fruit pieces for an appealing, colorful presentation.
- Serve Immediately: Serve the Bali Mango Dragon Fruit Smoothie immediately while fresh and cold for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Use frozen fruit chunks to achieve a thick, chilled smoothie without needing much ice.
- Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of honey based on personal preference.
- Add more coconut milk or pineapple juice to thin out the smoothie if it becomes too thick during blending.
- This smoothie is best enjoyed fresh; however, it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
- Substitute honey with agave nectar or maple syrup for a vegan-friendly version.
