Notes
STORAGE: This smoothie is best enjoyed fresh. If you must store it, keep it in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 4 hours, though separation may occur—simply shake or stir before drinking. MAKE-AHEAD: Freeze pre-portioned dragon fruit and banana chunks in zip-top bags for quick assembly. SUBSTITUTIONS: Use almond or oat milk instead of coconut milk; swap honey for agave or omit for a less sweet version. For a vegan option, use dairy-free yogurt and maple syrup. SERVING: Pair with a sprinkle of chia seeds or fresh berries on top for extra nutrition and visual appeal.
