Description
This vibrant Pitaya Smoothie Bowl is a tropical, antioxidant-rich breakfast or snack that’s as nourishing as it is beautiful. Made with frozen dragon fruit, banana, and other tropical fruits, it blends into a creamy, spoonable consistency. Topped with fresh fruit, seeds, and crunchy bits, it’s the kind of recipe that feels like a treat—but fuels you with clean, colorful ingredients.
Ingredients
1 packet frozen pitaya (about 3.5 oz)
1 frozen banana
1/2 cup frozen mango or pineapple
1/4 cup coconut milk (or other plant-based milk)
Toppings: banana slices
Toppings: kiwi slices
Toppings: coconut flakes
Toppings: chopped almonds
Toppings: chia seeds
Instructions
1. Prepare all your frozen ingredients and let them sit at room temperature for 2–3 minutes to soften slightly.
2. Add frozen pitaya, banana, mango or pineapple, and 1/4 cup coconut milk into a high-powered blender.
3. Blend until smooth and thick, pausing to scrape the sides as needed. Add extra milk one tablespoon at a time if it’s too thick to blend.
4. Pour the thick smoothie into a bowl and gently swirl the surface to create a pretty texture.
5. Top with sliced banana, kiwi, coconut flakes, chopped almonds, and chia seeds.
6. Serve immediately and enjoy with a spoon.
Notes
For the thickest texture, use frozen fruit only—avoid adding ice, which waters down the flavor.
To make ahead, blend the smoothie and freeze it in a sealed container. Re-blend after thawing slightly before serving.
