What is Dragon Fruit?
The dragon fruit or Pitaya is the fruit of the cactus genus “Hylocereus”. Its Origin is from Mexico, South & North America. Later it was introduced to Asia and the Fareast.
In the United states the Dragon Fruit is grown in Hawaii, Southern California and Florida.
The taste is kind of between pear and kiwi. This fruit is so beautiful with its vibrant magenta color.
This fruit comes in a variety of colors but the most well-known ones are the ones that are white and magenta from the inside. The darker the inside the sweeter it tastes.
Dragon fruit Benefits
The Dragon fruit is considered a superfood because it is full of nutrients, fibers, vitamins, and antioxidants.
Eating it regularly will have a positive effect on your health. It is also high on vitamin C which helps boost the immune system, especially during the winter.
Also the vitamin C within the fruit has a ton of benefits on the skin. It helps with skin regeneration, acne, and age spots.
It is also one of the few fresh fruits that contains iron.
Where Can You Buy It?
You can get it either fresh or frozen, it is seasonal so you don’t always find the fresh ones in the grocery store.
The good thing is that the frozen ones are always available and cheaper than the fresh ones.
What to add in your dragon fruit smoothie?
Fruits. I like mixing it with sweet fruits like mangoes and strawberries. But my favorite is mixing it with bananas because it gives it a smooth creamy texture.
Yogurt. Try adding a couple of spoons of your favorite yogurt. You can even add chia seeds or protein powder to it.
This mixture I use is my favorite! This vibrant pink🦩 smoothie is creamy, sweet & delicious, and just irresistible to anyone! yum
This is the perfect dragon fruit smoothie!
