1 servings

This Pitaya bowl is the most delicious frothy smoothie bowl to start the day with vitamin C and feel energized all day. Plus, this dragon fruit bowl takes under 5 minutes to make and requires only three ingredients, so even the kids can make this alone.

Ingredients

  • 3 ounces Frozen Banana (peeled, sliced, about 1 small frozen banana (note 1))
  • 7 ounces Frozen Pitaya (2 packets frozen pitaya)
  • 1/2 cup Coconut Milk (note 2)
  • 1 tablespoon Maple Syrup
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 teaspoon Peanut Butter (Unsalted)
  • 1/4 cup Homemade Granola
  • 1 tablespoon Sliced Almonds
  • 2 tablespoons Blueberries
  • 1/4 small Banana Slices

Directions

  1. 1

    Before you start, I recommend weighing the frozen fruits instead of using cups. This is a quick tip to make a super thick smoothie bowl.

  2. 2

    Add the frozen banana slices and frozen pitaya to the blender along with half the milk. Add any optional ingredients or protein powder (see note) now if used. Blend on low speed (Vitamix speed 3) until it forms an icy fruit crumble.

  3. 3

    Stop the blender and add the remaining dairy-free milk. Blend again (Vitamix speed 3 ), using the tamper attachment of the blender in swirl movement to help the mixture blend - it's thick and hard to blend, but pushing the food with the tamper helps create an ice cream bowl without adding more milk. Repeat these actions until it forms a soft-serve texture.

  4. 4

    If it becomes too liquid, blend in a few more frozen banana or ice cubes. If the mixture doesn't blend very well, add more almond milk, only one tablespoon at a time, blend, and repeat until the favorite texture is achieved.

  5. 5

    Serve with your favorite toppings like nuts, seeds or homemade granola recipe
