Dragon fruit mango orange smoothie



Have you ever had a smoothie made with dragon fruit? The flavour combination in this dragon fruit smoothie is incredible!

Let us discuss colour for a moment. Many people believe this colour is artificial because it is so vibrant, but it is the natural colour of dragon fruit, which is the major component in this smoothie.

Pitaya is another name for dragon fruit. There are four types of fruit: three with pink skin, one with white flesh, one with red flesh, and one with purple flesh. The fourth variant is differentiated by its yellow skin and white flesh. Like kiwifruit, they all feature tiny black seeds that are edible. I am most interested in trying the yellow-skinned scale with white fresh because it has a unique variety that I have never seen or tasted before.

Juice or smoothie can be made from dragon fruit. Just peel and cut the dragon fruit into pieces, then place it in a juice mixer with the proper amount of water or yogurt to make a tasty dragon fruit juice. It is good for breakfast or if you are hungry at work. It is an easy and healthy way.

What are the benefits of dragon fruit smoothies?

Dragon fruit is high in vitamin C, which helps with skin whitening, as well as water-soluble dietary fibre, which aids in weight loss by hydrating the intestines and acting as laxatives.

Dragon fruit has a higher iron concentration than other fruits. Iron is required for the formation of hemoglobin and other iron-containing molecules. Anemia can also be avoided by consuming the right quantity of iron. The dragon fruit is a soft and juicy fruit that helps restore iron and blood, giving your complexion a brighter and rosier appearance.

Is it necessary to dilute dragon fruit juice or a smoothie with water?

There are general instructions on the juicer, depending on the situation, on which way is the best for that machine. It is up to the individual's preference. No need to add water if the fruit already has a lot of juice. The texture is somewhat creamy. Add a little water if the smoothie is too thick for you. The consistency thickens as you add more of the ingredients. Water can be skipped when making a smoothie using oranges, and lemons.

Are smoothies made with dragon fruit healthy?

With no added sugar, this dragon fruit smoothie is filled with nutritious ingredients. It contains enough fibre and protein to keep you satisfied and full. It is a delicious, quick, and easy method to increase your fruit and vegetable intake.

What is a good match for dragon fruit juice?

Because dragon fruit has a sweet, delicate flavour, it works well when paired with yoghurt, mango, lemon juice, and to create a tropical flavour.

Fried Taro Puff Dumplings (Woo KOK 芋角)

Taro puff dumplings or Woo Kok ( 芋角 ) are another must-eat snack when you go to a restaurant. The outside is honeycomb-shaped, and the inside is soft and smooth. Even if you go to a restaurant to eat, not every restaurant makes them crispy. And for that reason, I decided to learn how to make this snack. Someone once told me, because of the complicated workmanship, it is difficult to make at home. She advised me not to spend effort on it. If you know me well, I always like to challenge my limits. Today, I will show you how to make them! The fillings of taro dumplings must contain pork, dried shrimps, and mushrooms! The filling can be prepared one day ahead. The dumpling skin is made of taro paste. I am using Areca taro ( 槟榔芋 ). It has a tough, brown exterior with an interior that is white/beige in color with purple flecks. The ideal taro for this recipe will be more mature and starchier. The hardest and most tiresome step of the entire process is frying Woo Kok. A crispy crust w...

Steamed Spareribs With Sand Ginger (沙姜蒸排骨)

Steamed spareribs with sand ginger is a delicious Cantonese dish. The main ingredients are spareribs and sand ginger. Sand ginger, also known as galangal, is a spicy spice that adds a unique flavor to this dish. It is one of four types of galangals, a rhizome in the ginger family. Fresh sand ginger is paler in color on the inside and woodier and coarser in texture than standard ginger. As a result, it is more difficult to peel and grate.  So, I just cleaned it with a tiny brush and chopped it with the skin. Fresh sand ginger might not be available at other places, so they will powder form instead. When dried, the flavor becomes a little less intense. I love how the fresh sand ginger tastes when combined with other spices or ingredients to create the sauce for meat. Apart from the ribs, I also add glass noodles and yuba or dried tofu skin. The ribs, glass noodles and dried tofu skin absorb all the sauce, enhanced by the flavor of sand ginger and oyster sauce. You can use san...

Steamed Chicken With Cordyceps Flowers and Shitake Mushrooms (虫草花香菇蒸鸡)

Steam chicken is the easiest way of cooking with health benefits, and delicious flavor. Just simply marinate the bite sized pieces of chicken for minutes to obtain a basic flavor then steam for 20 to 25 minutes. That’s so simple. My husband loves steam food. This is due to the fact that steaming food is nutrient preservation, calorie and fat reduction. Additionally, it keeps the natural flavor to the maximum. Normally, I will add mushrooms, lily blossoms and black fungus for additional texture. For this recipe, I replace the lily blossoms with cordyceps flowers. It is a type of orange-yellow grass and it’s good for nourishing the lungs and kidneys, protecting the liver, nourishing skin and beauty, and improving immunity. It is extremely delicious when used to make soup or steam dishes! You don’t have to add water to the chicken, the marinade, chicken, and mushrooms release a broth-like mix of fluids that tastes amazing over rice. Are you drooling? This is an easy and delicious ...
