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! |
