Dragonfruit Smoothies

I was away for the 4th so not much cooking was getting done. Lots of fried clams, lobster rolls, haddock, blueberry pies, ice cream... you get the drift.  Not cooked by me = vacation.  :)


But a girl can begin to crave healthy food after so much decadent deliciousness, so when my daughter suggested we try out the new smoothie place in town, I was game.

Loveshack Juicery is a new addition to Ogunquit this year.  The array of smoothies, smoothie bowls, juices, etc. is staggering. My daughter has been looking forward to going there ever since it opened.

When I saw her drink, I knew it would be today's post. Remember when Missy blogged about her daughter's smoothie bowl and everyone wanted to know about Dragon fruit? My daughter chose the Flamingo. It had a mix of Pitaya, strawberries, pineapple, agave & coconut water. The perfect drink for the 4th and for the hot day we had. 



They had cards at the register that explained what all the fuss is about Pitaya.

 




There were so many great choices (See the menu here). I think they've inspired some of my smoothies for the rest of the summer:

SURF SHACK has Pineapple, strawberries, banana, coconut butter & coconut water

 

LOCAL BERRIES is made with Maine blueberries, strawberries, banana, agave & cashew milk


Since I'm currently reading The Beekeeper's Ball by Susan Wiggs, I was intrigued by this one: 

BEE KEEPER: Maine blueberries, oats, banana, agave, bee pollen & cashew milk

They make their own cashew milk. 



So why Dragon fruit?

If you couldn't read the fine print above, watch this video.

 


Okay, I'm putting 2 videos because this lady is just SO excited about Dragon fruit.

 
 

 

 

So, does dragon fruit tempt you?

Or are you sticking with the fried clams and lobster rolls?
