Dragon Fruit Smoothie and How to Prepare It "Jersey Girl Knows Best
Have you ever heard of dragon fruit? It is an exotic fruit that is grown on trees with leaves that look like a cactus. Yes...cactus!!! Google it! They are grown in Central America and Northern South America. Let’s make a smoothie with it! Ready?! Let’s do this!
Look how beautiful the color is on this fruit. It is so exotic!
We start by cutting the fruit in half lengthwise. Look at that mystical white and speckled flesh. If I had never saw this fruit before, I would never guess that it looked this way when you open it up :). Did you know that some types of dragon fruit have a pink color inside? I have not seen one yet, but I wonder if it tastes different...
Now the easiest way to get the flesh of the fruit out is to use a large spoon to scoop around the edges of the dragon fruit to get it out of its skin. It is just like scooping out an avocado.
After you scooped each half you can begin cutting the half egg shape into slices. I sliced these about a 1/4 inch thick as shown.
Add your dragon fruit, coconut milk, avocado, oatmeal and fill with water/ice. Blend.
If it's not not sweet enough, you can add in honey or maple syrup. Enjoy!
The dragon fruit and a very light sweet taste and the texture is like a kiwi. There are lots of seeds which gives it a crunchy texture.

I'm allergic to avocado. Is there anything I can substitute for it?
