Pink Power Smoothie
Ingredients:
1 banana (peeled & frozen)
½ cup mango (frozen)
1 cup cauliflower (frozen & uncooked)
½ inch piece of fresh ginger
2 tablespoons hemp seeds
1 green tea bag (tea leaves from inside the bag)
3 oz dragon fruit (frozen) **
½ cup water **
Directions:
Place all ingredients into a high speed blender and blend until smooth.
Notes:
Dragon fruit is also called pitaya fruit and is a vibrant pink color. That pink color is the phytonutrients that naturally occur in the fruit and those nutrients are what protect us from disease.
You can find frozen dragon fruit in many grocery stores with the other frozen fruit. If you cannot find it frozen you can find the powdered form online in many places. If buying it in powdered form then use 1 heaping tablespoon. When purchased in powdered form it is sold as dried pitaya powder.
Add more water for desired consistency.
