You may have seen brightly pink dragon fruit [1] aka pitaya in smoothie bowls on Pinterest or Instagram. The kiwi-like fruit (that dyes your tongue pink!) can now be found in Smoothie King's latest release. Not to be confused with the Starbucks Dragon Frappuccino [2], this all-natural smoothie blends together pitaya, mango, and coconut water for a hydrating smoothie. Smoothie King gave us its recipe (which we adjusted slightly) so you can whip up shockingly pink smoothies at home too. The simple, tropical smoothie almost begs to be spiked — I'm thinking with tequila. Either way, sipping on this drink may make you feel like a fire-breathing dragon.
