Recipe- Refresh Yourself With Mango Dragon Fruit Lemonade

If you like the mango dragon fruit refresher from Starbucks, you’re going to LOVE this recipe! Now you can make your own mango dragon fruit lemonade at home it only takes a few ingredients! Pitaya/dragon fruit is a tropical fruit indigenous to Central America. It is considered to be a superfruit, meaning it’s nutrient dense and high in antioxidants. Dragon fruit tastes similar to a pear or kiwi, though my daughter thinks it tastes a little like passion fruit, too!

Ingredients

¾ cup lemonade
¼ cup white grape juice
2 tablespoons 100% mango juice
1 teaspoon freeze dried pitaya/dragon fruit powder (or 2-3 teaspoons broken up dragon fruit chips, or 2-3 tablespoons frozen dragon fruit cubes)

Method

- In a 16 ounce glass, add the lemonade, white grape juice, and mango juice.

- Add the pitaya/dragon fruit, either the freeze dried powder, the dehydrated chips, or the frozen cubes. Let sit for at least 2-5 minutes before adding ice.

- This gives the dragon fruit the chance to dissolve, rehydrate, and/or melt, while adding flavor. The drink will turn from a yellow/orange color to a deep magenta.

- Stir one more time, and then top off with ice. Enjoy!
