Dragon Fruit Smoothie Bowl

Servings

1 large bowl (or 2 small)

Prep Time

10 minutes

Ingredients

Base

• 1 packet (100g) frozen dragon fruit (pitaya), or 1 cup frozen cubes

• 1 frozen banana (sliced before freezing)

• 1/4 cup frozen mango or pineapple (optional, for sweetness)

• 1/4–1/2 cup milk (almond, coconut, oat, or dairy)

• 1 tablespoon nut butter (optional, for creaminess)

• 1 teaspoon chia seeds or flaxseeds (optional)

• 1–2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (optional, if needed)

Toppings (choose 3–6)

• Fresh sliced banana

• Kiwi slices

• Fresh berries

• Granola

• Shredded coconut

• Cacao nibs

• Hemp seeds

• Pumpkin seeds

• Nut butter drizzle

Equipment

• High-speed blender or food processor

• Tamper (if using a blender)

• Bowl and spoon

Instructions

1. Prepare the fruit

Make sure your dragon fruit and banana are fully frozen. This is essential for a thick, scoopable consistency.

2. Blend the base

Add to the blender:

• Frozen dragon fruit

• Frozen banana

• Mango (if using)

• 1/4 cup milk to start

Blend on low, gradually increasing speed.
If too thick to blend, add milk 1 tablespoon at a time. The mixture should be very thick — thicker than a smoothie — similar to soft-serve ice cream.

Tip: Avoid adding too much liquid. The thicker the blend, the better the bowl structure will hold toppings.

3. Adjust flavor

Taste and add:

• Sweetener if needed

• Nut butter for richness
  Blend briefly again.

4. Assemble

Spoon into a bowl and smooth the top with the back of a spoon.

5. Add toppings

Arrange toppings in rows or sections for presentation. Add crunchy elements last so they stay crisp.

Serve immediately.

Texture Guide

• Too thin? Add more frozen fruit and re-blend.

• Too thick to blend? Add milk 1 tablespoon at a time.

• Icy texture? Blend longer or use slightly less liquid next time.

Nutritional Highlights

• Dragon fruit: high in fiber, vitamin C, antioxidants
