This fresh Pitaya Bowl recipe is smooth, refreshing, and great anytime of day! Add in protein powder to make it even healthier then top it with fresh fruit, homemade granola, and a drizzle of honey.
Blend: Add frozen dragonfruit, frozen banana, coconut water, frozen pineapple (vanilla protein powder and unsweetened cocoa powder, optional) in a blender. Blend until smooth, using a tamper as needed. If it’s too thick, you can add a little more liquid.
Add toppings: Pour in bowls and top with your favorite toppings. I like to add fresh fruit, homemade granola, coconut flakes, chia seeds, and a drizzle of honey. Enjoy!
Notes
Yields about 4.5 cups. Serving size is 1 1/2 cupsPitaya (Dragonfruit): I use half of a 12 ounce bag of frozen pitaya for this recipe (found in the frozen fruit freezer section at the store). If using Dragonfruit smoothie packs, use two (3oz) packs for this recipe. To use fresh dragon fruit, make sure to use red Dragon fruit, for the signature pink color of pitaya bowls. Peel, chop into chunks and freeze it, before making the bowls.Make Ahead Instructions: This dragon fruit bowl recipe is best served immediately, but if you need to make it ahead of time, I recommend freezing it.Freezing Instructions: Divide single servings into separate freezer safe containers, then freeze. Allow to thaw before adding toppings and enjoying. You could even bring the frozen pitaya smoothie bowl to work, the pool or park in the morning, and toppings at lunch when it's thawed and ready.
