Dragon Fruit Pineapple Start

Pineapple supplies most of the tang here, while dragon fruit adds a mild fruit flavor and those tiny, crunchy seeds. Banana rounds out the texture without needing yogurt. Pink dragon fruit makes a vivid glass, but the white variety works equally well. Blend just until smooth; there is no need to try to make the seeds disappear. The result is a bright, tropical breakfast drink whose flavor is more familiar than its unusual appearance might suggest.

Ingredients

• 6 oz Unsweetened oat milk
• 1/2 cup Dragon fruit flesh
• 2 oz Pineapple juice
• 1/2 fruit Ripe banana

Make it

1. Prepare all fruit as listed. Use cooked, cooled ingredients where specified; remove every stone, core or hard stem.
2. Add the milk and all remaining ingredients to a blender. Blend for 45–60 seconds, scraping down as needed, until smooth.
3. Add a small splash of milk if needed to make it pourable. Serve immediately.

Benefits

Banana · a potassium contribution

The 1/2 fruit of ripe banana adds some potassium for normal muscle and nerve function, with oat milk, dragon fruit, and apple juice rounding out the flavor.

A blend of dragon fruit, oat milk, and apple juice

Using dragon fruit gives the oat milk, apple juice, and banana a gentle fruit flavor and flecked texture in a thicker drink for a moment when juice alone would feel a little thin.
