Sip your way into healthier eating habits with this flavorful and fruity dragon fruit smoothie!

We’ve all had smoothies loaded with traditional berries or greens, so I’m shaking things up with the less popular, but equally delicious, dragon fruit. You can easily find it in Heinen’s Produce Department.

Dragon Fruit Smoothie

Although it may look exotic, dragon fruit actually has a similar flavor to more common fruit like kiwis and pears. High in fiber and magnesium, it’s the perfect nutrient-rich ingredient for this healthy smoothie.

Delicious as an on-the-go breakfast or snack between meals, blend up this refreshing concoction when your stomach growls for something sweet.
