- 1 cup frozen dragon fruit chunks (pitaya)

Instructions
- Add Ingredients to Blender: Combine the unsweetened almond milk, plain Greek yogurt, vanilla protein powder, frozen dragon fruit chunks, and frozen strawberries into a high-speed blender.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend the mixture for 20-30 seconds on high speed until it achieves a creamy, smooth consistency without any large fruit chunks remaining.

- Garnish and Enjoy: Top each glass with crushed freeze-dried strawberries for a crunchy berry accent, then serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing smoothie.
Notes
- For a dairy-free version, substitute Greek yogurt with dairy-free yogurt.
- If vanilla protein powder is unavailable, you can use plain or flavored protein powder of choice.
- Use frozen fruit to get a thicker, colder smoothie without adding ice.
- Adjust sweetness by adding a teaspoon of honey or agave syrup if desired.
- For a thinner smoothie, add a little more almond milk as needed.
