Introduction:
If you want a smoothie that’s both beautiful and seriously satisfying, this
Dragon Fruit Blueberry Protein Smoothie checks every box. It’s bright, fruity, and creamy with a naturally
sweet flavor—like a tropical berry milkshake—while still being packed with protein to keep you full.
Dragon fruit (also called pitaya) brings a subtle tropical taste and that signature vibrant color. Blueberries add a deeper
berry flavor that balances pitaya perfectly, plus they help create a smooth, refreshing finish. Add Greek yogurt (or your
favorite dairy-free alternative) and a scoop of protein powder, and you’ve got an easy breakfast, a post-workout smoothie,
or a mid-afternoon snack that doesn’t feel “diet-y.”
The best part? This smoothie is flexible. You can make it extra thick like a smoothie bowl, keep it sip-friendly, adjust
sweetness naturally, or boost it with fiber and healthy fats. Once you learn the base formula, you’ll be able to make it on
repeat without measuring everything perfectly.
