Healthy Tropical Fruit Smoothie (ヘルシートロピカルスムージー)


My current favorite "healthy smoothie" is this cute pink one.
Make sure to use frozen pink dragon fruits in a package of frozen tropical fruits, so that you can get this cute pink colour for a smoothie.  
Just making a normal smoothie is not satisfying enough. My idea is this;
By adding soft and juicy kanten to your favourite drinks, you can receive following great benefits!

- Kanten itself has no calories, but its 80% dietary fibre content gives you a sense of fullness, while also controlling blood sugar level.
- Your drink won't become diluted because kanten doesn't melt in your glass when combined with other drinks (as long as it's below 80℃). You can use icy cold kanten as an alternative to ice cubes.
- Kanten can add a layer of texture to your drink for your enjoyment.

Please stay healthy with this healthy tropical fruit smoothies♡
