Pitaya Smoothie

11/27/2015

 
Picture
Pitaya (also known as Dragon Fruit) is a low glycemic fruit with high fiber from Central America. I have a favorite smoothie at the local juice stop that I've been trying to replicate. It's been difficult because one of their main ingredients is passionfruit juice. Not easy to make or find. I substituted grape and lime. It's almost the same amount of wonderful! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Serves well as a smoothie or make a bowl with added fruit and nuts.  ~Serves 1

​Just love that Magenta color, don't you?

1 package 3.5oz Frozen Pitaya fruit
1/4 cup Organic frozen strawberries
1/4 cup Organic frozen pineapple (best if you let the fruit ripen yourself and then freeze to be sure its nice and sweet)
1/2 Juicy lime, juiced
1/2 cup Purple grape juice (or more as needed)
2 drops Stevia

Dragon fruit comes in many colors, but you can usually find it in a 4 pack of the purple 3.5oz bags in the freezer section of your local health food store.

Or get one fresh from the market, when in season.

Place all in a blender and blend smooth. Add a little more juice if needed to make it just the right consistency.

What a yummy snack or fun treat when friends come over!

This is by far my #1 Juice if you ask me what combination feels right. It's a sweet, earthy juice with pick me up power. When I was Director at a local vegan restaurant and stuck at my desk, I'd call down to the juice bar. "My regular, Please." Everyone knew what to make and then it was hand delivered. Boy I miss that!

Please feel free to adjust to your liking. And refrain from drinking over white carpet or clothes... Don't ask.

2 Oranges
1 Beet
4 leaves of Kale
6 Carrots

Man is this a tasty drink! Super fun for a party, and anti-inflammatory from the turmeric root! I categorize this under fun food, not daily juice. Add the beet and greens to balance the fruit a bit. I was surprised at the WOW factor of the turmeric...



2 Oranges
1/2 Apple
1 cup Pineapple
10 or so Carrots (about 3 cups juiced)
2 inches Turmeric Root
Optional:
1/2 Beet
Kale or Parsley to taste

Juice and mix together.
