Notes & Tips:
Use any milk (dairy or non-dairy) that you prefer in this smoothie.
Add a scoop of your favorite protein powder to the green layer of this smoothie if you want more protein.
If pink dragon fruit is unavailable, you can substitute with frozen strawberries or raspberries for a similar vibrant color and fruity flavor. Strawberries will provide a slightly sweeter taste, while raspberries will add a bit more tartness to balance the smoothie.
