Use more almond milk to make it a smoother drink, or less to turn this recipe into an amazing frozen treat.
in indonesia its call Buah Naga hehehe
btw nice post @ladypenelope1
Thank you - i've only just discovered them - I always thought they would be sour, but was delighted to find that they were sweet.
you are welcome @ladypenelope1
Awesome smoothie. Love the Pitaya! We are growing some ourselves and hopefully we can get them to fruit next year. I'm doing a smoothie post in the morning and just finished drinking it. Mine had Kiwi, but now I wish it had Pitaya.
next year will see your post for all types of cooking, smoothie-ing and growing Pitaya- look forward to seeing your smoothie post - have a great day:)
When it comes time to harvest, I will remember you, and this post.
It looks really good :) But 1 cup Spinach? eww lol. I'm a picky eater, and don't eat as many vegetables as I "should".
But natural energy drinks seem awesome. Who knows how much crap is put in the stuff you buy in a can at the gas station for energy drinks.
lol -you dont taste the spinach , its in for the iron content - totally agree with you on ??whats in supermarket energy drinks, usually high caffeine and sugars... here's another natural one for you to try ..https://steemit.com/fitness/@ladypenelope1/homemade-natural-energy-drink-chia-fresca-a-refreshing-natural-hyd
