A quick and vibrant smoothie bowl featuring frozen dragon fruit blended with creamy yogurt and almond milk, topped with fresh fruit and crunchy seeds for a refreshing and nourishing breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (150g) frozen dragon fruit (pitaya), chopped
  • 1 ripe banana, peeled and sliced
  • ½ cup (120ml) Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt
  • ½ cup (120ml) almond milk or any plant-based milk
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
  • Fresh kiwi, sliced (for topping)
  • Blueberries or raspberries (for topping)
  • Toasted coconut flakes (for topping)
  • Chia seeds or hemp seeds (for topping)
  • Granola (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Gather and prep your ingredients: peel and slice the banana, measure out the frozen dragon fruit, yogurt, and milk. Have your toppings ready to go. (5 minutes)
  2. Add the frozen dragon fruit, banana, yogurt, almond milk, honey (if using), and lime juice into the blender. Blend on high speed until completely smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes. Stop and scrape down the sides if needed. The mixture should be thick but scoopable, not runny.
  3. Check the texture and sweetness: taste and add a little more honey or maple syrup if you prefer it sweeter. If too thick, blend in a splash more almond milk (1 tablespoon at a time) until desired consistency.
  4. Transfer the smoothie mixture to your serving bowl. It should have that vibrant, rich pink color that makes you smile.
  5. Arrange your toppings: artfully place kiwi slices, berries, toasted coconut flakes, chia seeds, and granola on top. Feel free to mix and match as you like. (3-5 minutes)
  6. Serve immediately: this bowl is best enjoyed fresh to keep toppings crunchy and the texture perfect. If you must store, keep it refrigerated in an airtight container and add toppings just before serving.

Notes

Use frozen dragon fruit for best texture; if using fresh dragon fruit, add ice cubes to maintain thickness. Blend in stages starting at low speed then high for smoothness. Add almond milk gradually to avoid a runny texture. Assemble toppings just before serving to keep them fresh and crunchy. Experiment with flavor boosts like ground ginger or fresh mint. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge up to 24 hours, keeping toppings separate.
