That’s why I’m obsessed with this Dragon Fruit Blueberry Burst Frappuccino—it’s creamy, fruity, and packed with antioxidants. Plus, it’s super easy to make at home. No fancy coffee shop required!

Whether you’re craving a midday pick-me-up or a refreshing post-workout treat, this vibrant frappuccino hits the spot. Let’s dive into the recipe, why each ingredient matters, and some fun ways to customize it.

Why You’ll Love This Dragon Fruit Blueberry Frappuccino

Before we get into the nitty-gritty, here’s why this drink is a must-try:

• Naturally vibrant color (no artificial dyes!)
• Packed with antioxidants from dragon fruit and blueberries
• Customizable sweetness—adjust to your taste
• Dairy-free options available (just swap the yogurt and milk)
• Perfect for hot days—icy, creamy, and ultra-refreshing

Now, let’s break down the magic behind each ingredient.

Ingredients & Why They Matter

1. Frozen Dragon Fruit (Pitaya) – ½ cup, cubed

Dragon fruit isn’t just pretty—it’s loaded with fiber, magnesium, and antioxidants. The frozen cubes give the frappuccino a thick, smoothie-like texture while keeping it naturally sweet.

2. Frozen Blueberries – ½ cup

Blueberries add a tangy contrast to the mild dragon fruit and bring their own set of brain-boosting antioxidants. Frozen berries help thicken the drink without watering it down.

3. Milk of Choice – ½ cup

Whether you go with almond, oat, or regular milk, this adds creaminess. I love oat milk for its natural sweetness, but any milk works!

4. Ice – ½ cup

Essential for that classic frappuccino slushiness. If you prefer a thicker texture, add a little extra.

5. Vanilla Yogurt – ¼ cup

Yogurt adds a creamy tang and protein boost. Coconut yogurt keeps it dairy-free while still giving that luscious mouthfeel.

6. Honey, Agave, or Maple Syrup – 1–2 tbsp (optional)

If you like your drinks on the sweeter side, a touch of natural sweetener balances the tartness of the berries.

7. Vanilla Extract – ¼ tsp

A tiny splash enhances all the other flavors, making the fruity notes pop.

Optional Extras for Swirl & Garnish

• Dragon fruit purée or blueberry syrup – For a fancy layered look
• Whipped cream – Because why not?
• Fresh berries or dragon fruit chunks – For extra texture and eye appeal

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Blend Everything Together

Toss the dragon fruit, blueberries, milk, ice, yogurt, sweetener (if using), and vanilla into a blender. No need to thaw the fruit—the frozen bits make it extra frosty.

Step 2: Blend Until Smooth

Pulse a few times to break up the ice, then blend on high until creamy. If it’s too thick, add a splash more milk. Too thin? Toss in a couple more ice cubes.

Step 3: Add a Swirl (Optional)

Want that coffeehouse aesthetic? Drizzle some dragon fruit purée or blueberry syrup along the inside of your glass before pouring in the frappuccino.

Step 4: Pour & Top It Off

Gently pour the blended mixture into your glass. Finish with whipped cream and a few fresh berries or extra dragon fruit cubes for garnish.

Step 5: Serve Immediately

Grab a straw (or a spoon—it’s that thick!) and enjoy your tropical, antioxidant-packed creation.

Customization Ideas

One of the best things about this frappuccino? You can tweak it endlessly:

• Protein boost? Add a scoop of vanilla protein powder.
• More tropical? Blend in a splash of coconut milk.
• Lower sugar? Skip the sweetener—the fruit’s natural sugars might be enough.
• Extra caffeine? A shot of cold brew or espresso turns this into a fruity iced latte.

People Also Ask (PAA)

Can I use fresh fruit instead of frozen?

You can, but the texture won’t be as thick. If using fresh fruit, add extra ice to compensate.

Is dragon fruit healthy?

Absolutely! It’s low in calories but high in fiber, vitamin C, and antioxidants.

Can I make this ahead of time?

It’s best fresh, but you can prep the ingredients (like freezing the fruit) in advance for quicker blending later.

What’s the best milk substitute for a creamy texture?

Oat milk or full-fat coconut milk give the richest, creamiest results.

How do I make a layered frappuccino?

Drizzle purée or syrup in the glass first, then pour the drink slowly over the back of a spoon to create distinct layers.
