Blended Pitaya (Dragon Fruit) with Carrot Juice

If you stay in Malaysia, I think majority of people would know this fruit. Basically, it has only two types of pitaya I consume so far. It is either white in flesh or dark pink in flesh. But I was learnt that there is a yellow flesh too in other country.

Pitaya was also named as dragon fruit and in Chinese they named it 火龙果 or 龙珠果. Initially, we start with the white flesh pitaya. Normally, we will not take the pitaya straight after we buy them. We will usually store it away for few days before we consume. As the longer it store, we feel that it will taste sweeter.

Then came the dark pink flesh of dragon fruits. Actually my family does not like the dark pink flesh of dragon fruit. As it will make your hand, teeth and tongue to turn in dark pink colour. It actually annoyed me at first. Then we stopped taking the dark pink flesh of dragon fruit. But during one occasion, my sister in law bought the dark pink flesh of dragon fruit and share it with us. After that day onwards, we start to love it since then.

Normally, we will just cut and eat it as after meal fruit. And occasionally will blended as a juice. 

Today, I just want to share with you the simple:
