Dragon Fruit Smoothie Bowl Recipe
Dragon fruit or pitaya smoothie bowl makes a wonderful breakfast bowl that’s packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. To be honest, dragon fruit doesn’t taste like much. It has a very mild flavour, but I love the gorgeous hot pink colour of this fruit. Did you know that dragon fruit is a cactus fruit? For the smoothie bowl base, I always use frozen bananas. Bananas are naturally sweet, and they give the smoothie bowl a lovely creamy texture. I also like adding frozen berries to my dragon fruit smoothie bowl. The berries have so many health benefits and give a lovely tangy taste to the smoothie. In the summer I use fresh berries, but during winter I always go for frozen berries instead. To make my smoothie bowl extra healthy, filling and special; I added a tablespoon of creamy almond butter, a dash of coconut milk and some oats. The almond butter gives the smoothie a lovely flavour, so please don’t skip this part. And the oats are great for making the smoothie extra thick and filling.

Expert Tips
Blend slowly.Don’t add too much liquid at once. I recommend adding a dash of liquid, blend, then see if more is needed.Using frozen banana results in a thicker and creamier texture. If using a fresh banana, use less liquid.
