Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen dragonfruit
- 1 cup frozen pineapple
- 1 ripe banana
- 1/2 cup strawberries
- 1/2 small lime, juiced
- Your favorite toppings
Instructions
- In a food processor (or high-powered blender with a tamper) add dragonfruit, pineapple, banana, strawberries, and lime juice. Blend until smooth.
- Add your favorite toppings and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- Toppings that make it pop: Shredded coconut, goji berries, cacao nibs, fresh berries, sliced fruit, chopped nuts, or a nut-butter drizzle. Mix textures—creamy + crunchy + juicy—for the best spoonfuls.
- Finding pitaya: Look for frozen cubed dragonfruit in the freezer section near other smoothie fruits. If fresh is all you can find, cube it, freeze it solid, and then blend.
- Keep it thick: A dragonfruit smoothie bowl should scoop, not sip. Start with minimal liquid and use a blender tamper (or stop to scrape down) so the texture stays soft-serve thick.
Serve it cold: Chill your serving bowl for a few minutes before scooping—helps the pitaya base hold its texture longer. - Balance the flavor: Taste before serving. If your fruit is extra-sweet, add another squeeze of lime to sharpen it.
