Ok so when I first saw a dragon fruit smoothie on Instagram over a year ago, it IMMEDIATELY caught my eye.
Because well, it was SO, SO vibrant. The color was out of this world—especially vibrant for a smoothie.
But really, I’ve been dying to try dragon fruit for as long as I can remember, before it was, you know, trendy & all.
So naturally I did what every girl does when she’s creeping around on Instagram: I screenshotted the picture.
( Don’t pretend like you don’t screenshot shit too ).
Of course I was also looking for a way to use these pretty gold glasses too. Because, cute right?!
No lie this smoothie takes like 4.3 seconds to make:
I actually want you to know that this is a very lazy girl smoothie. Like, sorry I’m not sorry that I don’t have 21314 hours to dedicate to making my daily smoothie? Should I feel guilty? Perhaps? I don’t know, the easier, the better in my book:
1.) watermelon chucks
2.) half of banana
3.) dragon fruit or a Pitaya Plus packet
4.) scoop of chia seeds/flaxseeds/any seeds
5.) ice & 1/2 cup water
directions: blend.
See? A lazy-ass smoothie that gets the job done.
Benefits of pretty, pretty dragon fruit: it contains fruit fats ( AKA good fats ), fruit fiber, lowers cholesterol, contains antioxidants, TONS OF VITAMIN C, & helps prevent free radicals.
So here’s the deal- next time you’re in a pinch & need something that gets the job done, try ‘The Tight Ass, Hot Abs Smoothie’ & don’t apologize for your laziness.
Typically I keep all these ingreds on hand for when I’m feeling just too lazy to cook ( AKA everyday ).
What’s your favorite lazy girl smoothie? SHARE!

One thing I am so lucky and blessed to have is tons of dragon fruit all over bangkok! Crazy I just wrote a post with dragon fruit too! Did you get my gift in the mail? Have a great weekend xo C
The colour certainly is stunning! Though I’ve no idea where to get my hands on some dragonfruit! I will definitely bear this in mind though. Planning a holiday in the new year, and seriously need to diet!!

It looks so delicious. I want to have it.:)
I’ve never used dragonfruit. I wish I made up great names for my smoothies like this. I would say the best smoothies I make are the thick ones – such as one including a baked sweet potato. But for daily greens – I just use frozen spinach, frozen blueberries, almond milk and a stevia. It’s delish and quick!
I have been meaning to try this, have you used the Pitaya packet yet, those ones end up super BRIGHT pink but I am wondering if they taste as good?? My fav lazy smoothie more like a dessert…. almond milk, half frozen banana, spoonful of peanut butter (made with only peanuts, as you would understand!) handful of oats and if I have some on hand any kind of dark chocolate chips or cocao powder….. melt in my mouth!!

The color really is amazing! Where can I get dragon fruit? I want to make this asap!
Yum! I would love to try dragon fruit but it’s so hard to find here. Those glasses are to die for. And I am just starting to try chia seeds so would love an excuse to use them!
