Ingredients
Smoothie Bowl
- 6 ounces fresh or frozen dragon fruit
- 1/2 cup soy, almond, rice or low-fat milk
- 1/2 banana, frozen
- 1 cup pineapple chunks, frozen
- 1 cup mango chunks, frozen
Toppings
- raspberries
- kumquats
- cacao nibs, available in most health food stores
- bee pollen
- unsweetened, shredded coconut
Instructions
-
Place smoothie bowl ingredients in the jar of a blender and process until smooth. Pour into 2 bowls for serving.
-
Arrange toppings attractively on top of each smoothie bowl. I like to leave half of the bowl without toppings to let the beautiful color of the dragon fruit smoothie shine through.
Recipe Notes
If you'd like to switch things up a bit, consider adding blueberries, goji berries, or chia seeds.
Kumquats are a unique citrus fruit. They have a very tart interior with a sweet peel. You can slice the kumquats and eat the entire fruit, peel and all.
If you've never had dragon fruit, don't let the strange look deter you. the inside of the dragon fruit has a beautiful color and the flesh tastes somewhat like a kiwi. It's not an strong flavor, so it is perfect for a smoothie bowl where it can blend well with the other ingredients.
