- 1/2 cup coconut milk

- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/2 teaspoon lime juice

Instructions
- Gather Ingredients: Start by gathering all the ingredients: frozen mango, dragon fruit chunks, coconut milk, pineapple juice, honey, lime juice, and ice cubes to prepare for blending.
- Add Mango: Place the frozen mango chunks into the blender, ensuring they are evenly distributed at the bottom for easier blending.
- Add Dragon Fruit: Add the frozen dragon fruit chunks on top of the mango so that the fruits mix well when blended.
- Pour Coconut Milk: Pour in the coconut milk evenly over the fruit, adding a creamy texture and tropical flavor.
- Add Pineapple Juice: Add pineapple juice to introduce natural sweetness and enhance the tropical profile.
- Measure and Add Honey: Add 1 tablespoon of honey carefully to sweeten the smoothie without clumping.
- Add Lime Juice: Add 1/2 teaspoon lime juice for a touch of tangy brightness to balance the sweetness.
- Add Ice Cubes: Place the ice cubes on top of the blended ingredients to chill and add volume.
- Secure Blender Lid: Make sure the blender lid is tightly closed to prevent spills during blending.
- Start Blending on Low Speed: Begin blending on low speed to break up the frozen fruit chunks without damaging the blender.
- Increase to High Speed: Gradually increase to high speed and blend until smooth and creamy, ensuring no large ice or fruit pieces remain.
- Check Consistency: Stop the blender and check if the smoothie is too thick; if so, add more coconut milk or pineapple juice to reach desired texture.
- Pour Smoothie: Pour the smoothie into a glass evenly for serving.
- Garnish: Optionally garnish with extra mango or dragon fruit pieces for a vibrant, colorful presentation.
- Serve Immediately: Enjoy the smoothie fresh and cold for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use frozen fruit chunks to achieve the perfect chilled texture without watering down the smoothie.
- Adjust the sweetness by modifying the amount of honey based on your preference.
- You can substitute pineapple juice with orange juice if unavailable for a different fruity twist.
- To make this smoothie vegan, replace honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
- Adding more ice will make the smoothie thicker and colder but may dilute the flavors.
- This recipe is naturally gluten free and vegetarian.
