When your skin looks dull or feels a little “off,” it’s often a sign your routine could use support from the inside out. Enter the Skin Nourishment Opal Pear-Dragonfruit Cloud Smoothie: a bright, silky blend that tastes like a tropical orchard and drinks like a dessert, yet is built from ingredients chosen for hydration, fiber, and skin-friendly nutrients. This pear and dragon fruit smoothie combines chilled oat milk, juicy ripe pear, delicate white pitaya, crisp jicama, zesty lime, collagen peptides, and ground chia seeds for a cloud-smooth texture and a subtly sweet, clean finish.
It’s quick enough for busy mornings, refreshing after a workout, and elegant enough to serve in a glass with a lime wedge. If you’re searching for a “dragon fruit smoothie” with benefits beyond flavor, this is a simple, satisfying option that supports a glow-focused lifestyle without complicated prep.
Ingredients
- Chilled oat milk
- 1 ripe pear, cored
- White dragon fruit (pitaya) cubes
- Jicama chunks
- Fresh lime juice
- Collagen peptides
- Ground chia seeds
Instructions
- Add oat milk to a blender.
- Add pear, white dragon fruit, jicama, and lime juice.
- Add collagen peptides and ground chia seeds.
- Blend on high until silky-smooth, about 45–60 seconds.
- Rest 2 minutes to let chia lightly hydrate, then blend 5 seconds more and serve cold.
Why this smoothie is called “cloud”
The magic here is both texture and balance. Pear and oat milk create a soft, creamy base; dragon fruit adds a light, sorbet-like body; and ground chia seeds help thicken everything into a plush, spoonable-smooth consistency after a short rest. That last 5-second blend is a small step that makes a big difference, turning the hydrated chia into a uniform, velvety finish.
Health benefits of the Skin Nourishment Opal Pear-Dragonfruit Cloud Smoothie
This smoothie is designed to be more than pretty. While no drink is a miracle cure, the ingredients in this pear dragon fruit smoothie can complement a skin-supportive diet and help you feel energized and hydrated.
- Hydration support with a gentle, creamy base: Chilled oat milk provides fluid and a naturally smooth mouthfeel. Staying well-hydrated helps your skin look more supple and can reduce the appearance of dryness.
- Vitamin C boost from lime juice: Lime adds brightness and brings vitamin C, a nutrient involved in collagen formation and antioxidant defense. It also sharpens the flavor so the smoothie tastes fresh rather than overly sweet.
- Fiber for digestion and “glow”: Pear, jicama, and chia provide dietary fiber that supports regularity and a healthy gut environment. Many people notice that when digestion is steady and meals are balanced, skin tends to look clearer and less congested.
- Dragon fruit antioxidants and micronutrients: White dragon fruit (pitaya) offers antioxidants and a light sweetness without heaviness. It’s also a fun way to add variety to your fruit rotation, which can broaden the range of phytonutrients you get over time.
- Collagen peptides for beauty-from-within routines: Collagen peptides are a popular add-in for those focusing on skin elasticity and hydration. They blend seamlessly and don’t change the flavor much, making them easy to incorporate consistently.
- Ground chia seeds for omega-3s and satiety: Chia contributes plant-based omega-3 fatty acids (ALA) plus more fiber. Ground chia integrates smoothly, helping the smoothie feel satisfying and steady rather than spiking and crashing.
- Jicama for crunch-to-cream transformation: Jicama is crisp when raw, but blended it becomes subtly sweet and refreshing. It’s also a source of inulin-type fiber, which can support a healthy gut microbiome.
Flavor and texture notes
Expect a clean, bright sweetness from pear with a mild tropical lift from dragon fruit. Lime adds sparkle, while jicama keeps everything tasting light. If you want it more dessert-like, use a slightly riper pear; if you want it tangier and more refreshing, add a touch more lime juice.
Variations (easy ways to customize)
- Extra-cold, thicker “cloud”: Use frozen white dragon fruit cubes (or partially freeze the pear chunks). Blend a few seconds longer to achieve a soft-serve consistency.
- More protein without changing the vibe: Add a little more collagen peptides, or pair the smoothie with a protein-rich breakfast on the side if you prefer to keep the flavor delicate.
- Greens-friendly version: Add a small handful of spinach. The lime helps mask “green” notes while keeping the color bright and the flavor clean.
- Ginger-lime lift: Add a thin slice of fresh ginger for a gentle zing that pairs beautifully with pear and pitaya.
- Make it bowl-style: Reduce oat milk slightly so it’s thicker, then pour into a bowl and top with sliced pear, extra chia, or diced dragon fruit for a smoothie bowl texture.
- Creamier without dairy: Add a small piece of ripe avocado. It enhances the “cloud” feel while staying neutral in flavor.
- Sweetness adjustment: If your pear isn’t very ripe, add a few extra dragon fruit cubes. If it’s very ripe, increase lime juice slightly for balance.
