DRAGON FRUIT STRAWBERRY CHIA PUDDING SMOOTHIE
Oh my glory! Dragon Fruit (or you might recognize it as Pitaya) is SOOO healthy for you! Why do I not use this fruit enough?
Do you ever choose foods you want to eat based off color? My kids do – probably because we truly do eat with our eyes and there is no better way to express that then from the eyes of a toddler. The smoothies we like to make are usually based off of what color the kids want at any given day. A green one? Well that means green apples, kale, apple juice, etc. or a matcha smoothie bowl. A purple one? How about a matcha berry smoothie or blueberry banana smoothie? What about red? Strawberries, cherries, banana and milk!
You see, this smoothie all started when Mini-Me (that would be little C- so many nick-names for my little taste testers) really wanted a red or pink smoothie as we were grocery shopping looking at the frozen fruit. Right then we grabbed a packet of frozen dragon fruit and added a few strawberries, bananas and protein into the mix for extra vitamin C, potassium and protein.
Here is where the fun part comes in.
I always leave a batch or homemade chia pudding in the refrigerator for an easy breakfast to top with fruit and granola. This time I added it under the smoothie for a fun colorful treat that has a delicious frozen yogurt consistency!
