Step by Step Guide

In a blender, add the frozen dragon fruit cubes, frozen banana, frozen mixed red fruits, and milk.

Blend everything together until smooth and fully combined.

If the smoothie is too thick, add more soy milk to reach the desired consistency. If it’s too thin, toss in a few ice cubes to thicken it.

Begin by washing, peeling, and slicing your toppings. Peel and slice the kiwi, hull and slice the strawberries, and peel and slice the banana.

Pour the smoothie into a bowl and start adding your toppings in layers.

Note

For a unique texture, freeze some of your toppings, like berries or banana slices, before adding them to your smoothie bowl. They’ll stay fresh longer and add a delightful crunch!
