Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 1 packet frozen pitaya (about 3.5 oz)
- 1 frozen banana
- 1/2 cup frozen mango or pineapple
- 1/4 cup coconut milk (or other plant-based milk)
Toppings
- Banana slices
- Kiwi slices
- Coconut flakes
- Chopped almonds
- Chia seeds
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Take all your frozen ingredients out of the freezer and let them sit at room temperature for 2–3 minutes to soften slightly, which helps the blending process.
- Combine in Blender: Add the frozen pitaya, frozen banana, frozen mango or pineapple, and 1/4 cup coconut milk into a high-powered blender.
- Blend Mixture: Blend everything on high speed until the mixture is smooth and thick. Pause occasionally to scrape down the sides. If the blend is too thick and difficult to mix, add extra coconut milk one tablespoon at a time until it reaches a creamy consistency.
- Pour into Bowl: Pour the thick smoothie into a serving bowl and gently swirl the surface to create an appealing textured pattern.
- Add Toppings: Neatly arrange sliced banana, kiwi slices, coconut flakes, chopped almonds, and sprinkle chia seeds on top.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately with a spoon and enjoy the fresh and tropical flavors.
Notes
- Use a high-powered blender for the smoothest texture.
- You can substitute coconut milk with any other plant-based milk or dairy milk if preferred.
- Letting the frozen fruit soften slightly helps prevent the blender from struggling and ensures a creamier texture.
- Feel free to customize the toppings based on your preference or availability.
- This smoothie bowl is best enjoyed fresh as it may lose texture if left to sit.
