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 Chunks: Place the frozen mango chunks into the blender, ensuring they are evenly distributed at the bottom.
- Add Dragon Fruit: Add the frozen dragon fruit chunks on top of the mango, spreading them out to mix with the mango.
- Pour Coconut Milk: Pour in the coconut milk, carefully ensuring it evenly covers the fruit.
- Add Pineapple Juice: Add the pineapple juice, letting it flow over the top of the fruit and coconut milk.
- Add Honey: Squeeze the honey into the blender, making sure to measure it precisely to avoid clumping.
- Add Lime Juice: Add the lime juice, ensuring you use only 1/2 teaspoon for the right balance of tanginess.
- Add Ice Cubes: Place the ice cubes into the blender, allowing them to fall over the liquid and fruit.
- Secure Lid: Secure the blender lid tightly to avoid any spills during blending.
- Blend at Low Speed: Set the blender to a low speed at first to help break up the frozen fruit chunks.
- Increase Speed: Gradually increase the blender speed to high, blending until the mixture is smooth and creamy, with no large ice chunks remaining.
- Check Consistency: Stop the blender and check the consistency of the smoothie; if it seems too thick, add a small amount of coconut milk or pineapple juice to reach your desired texture.
- Pour Smoothie: Once smooth, pour the smoothie into a glass, ensuring that it fills the glass evenly.
- Garnish: Garnish the smoothie with additional mango or dragon fruit pieces, if desired, for a colorful presentation.
- Serve Immediately: Serve the Bali Mango Dragon Fruit Smoothie immediately while it’s fresh and cold for the best taste.
