This tropical smoothie is a delicious and refreshing way to start your day or cool off on a hot summer day. The dragon fruit, banana, mango, and pineapple provide a sweet and tart flavor, while the coconut milk, chia seeds, and hemp seeds add creaminess, texture, and a boost of nutrients.
The inspiration for this smoothie came to me on a sweltering summer day when I was craving something cold and refreshing. I had some leftover dragon fruit, banana, mango, and pineapple in my fridge, so I decided to throw them all in a blender with some coconut milk, chia seeds, and hemp seeds. The result was a delicious and satisfying smoothie that was the perfect way to beat the heat.
