Dragon fruit, also known as pitaya or pitahaya, gives a vibrant color to your smoothie bowl and provides a range of health benefits. Here's a simple and delicious recipe for a dragon fruit smoothie bowl:
Equipment
- 1 Chef's Knife
- 1 Blender
Ingredients
- 1 ripe dragon fruit either white or red-fleshed
- 1 frozen banana sliced
- 1/2 cup frozen mixed berries like blueberries, raspberries, or strawberries
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk or coconut milk, or any milk of your choice
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds optional for added texture and nutrients
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup optional for sweetness, adjust based on your preference
- granola fresh berries, sliced kiwi, coconut flakes, chia seeds, nuts, or any of your favorite toppings
Instructions
- Slice the dragon fruit in half. Use a spoon to scoop out the flesh from one half and set aside the other half to use as a serving bowl (optional).
- In a blender, combine the dragon fruit flesh, frozen banana slices, frozen berries, coconut milk, chia seeds (if using), and sweetener (if using). Blend until smooth. If the mixture is too thick, add more milk to achieve your desired consistency.
- Pour the smoothie mixture into a bowl (or the scooped-out dragon fruit skin for a more natural and eye-catching presentation).
- Decorate with your choice of toppings. Granola adds a nice crunch, berries provide freshness, coconut flakes offer tropical flair, and nuts add texture and protein.
- Enjoy immediately!
Notes
Tip: You can easily customize this smoothie bowl by adding protein powder, different fruits, or yogurt to change the texture and flavor.
