1
Add frozen fruit first to the blender, positioning the dragon fruit chunks and passion fruit puree close to the blades for thorough processing.
2
Add 4 ounces of silken tofu to provide creaminess and plant-based protein.
3
Add half a ripe banana for sweetness and a creamy mouthfeel.
4
Pour in 1 cup of water—no ice needed since frozen fruit is already used.
5
Start blending on the lowest speed for about 10 seconds, then pause and stir the mixture while scraping the sides. Gradually increase the speed and blend for about a minute until completely smooth.
6
Check the consistency and add a little more water if needed to reach the desired thickness.
