Pitaya Bowl Dragonfruit Smoothie Bowl

If you love easy, healthy breakfast recipes packed with vitamins like my 3-Ingredient Strawberry Banana Smoothie Bowl, Vegan Acai Bowl, Blueberry Pineapple Smoothie, or Banana Peach Smoothie, this recipe is for you! Smoothie bowl recipes taste just like ice cream without much fat. They are healthy for you but taste like a dessert for breakfast. So let’s see how you can make this easy pitaya bowl in the morning.

Ingredients and Substitutions

Three simple ingredients are all you need to make a smooth, thick, and creamy smoothie bowl with an ice cream texture.

Frozen Pitaya – You can buy ready-made frozen dragon fruit packets from the grocery store. It’s a vibrant pink-purple pitaya puree frozen in bags, but you can also freeze some fresh pitaya flesh in zip-lock bags. Frozen Banana or frozen mango – any other frozen fruit you love, even frozen berries such as blueberries or raspberries. I love bananas or mangos because they make a smoothie bowl thicker and less icy than berries. Also, light color fruits keep the smoothie bowl bright pink! Plant-Based Milk of choice – it’s up to you to pick your favorite. Soy milk is excellent for boosting the protein content of this easy smoothie bowl without adding expensive protein powder. But coconut milk and almond milk also taste amazing.

How To Make A Pitaya Bowl

Pitaya bowl, also known as the dragon fruit bowl, is a thick, creamy, ice-cream-like fruit bowl. It’s a tasty snack or healthy breakfast ready in 5 minutes. You can’t fail this pitaya smoothie bowl recipe. However, you can always adjust the recipe to make it closer to your liking.

Hard Frozen Fruit – Don’t use fruit that has been just frozen for a few hours or that turns into liquid too fast when blended. Weigh The Fruit Frozen – The ratio is simple and always the same. Ten ounces of frozen fruits for 1/2 cup of non-dairy milk. Use a High-Speed Blender rather than a food processor. Blenders usually come with a tamper attachment to make it easier to push down the fruits next to the blade. As a result, you don’t have to stop the blender every 10 seconds to push the food down.

Too thick – Add more milk, but watch out. If you add too much milk or add it too quickly, it turns into a red dragon fruit smoothie! So add milk one tablespoon at a time. Too runny – Add ice cubes or more frozen fruits.

Serving

The best way to serve this pink smoothie bowl is with crunchy toppings like:

Unsweetened Coconut Flakes Granola – try my peanut butter granola recipe or chocolate granola Sliced Almonds Fresh or frozen berries like strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries. Banana Slices Peanut Butter or almond butter

Allergy Swaps

Below are some options if you have food allergies. However, this pita bowl is already naturally:

Gluten-free Dairy-free Vegan

But for more options, try some below:

Low-Carb – Replace the frozen bananas with frozen zucchini. They have no flavor or color, adding a lovely creamy texture to the smoothie bowl without the carbs. Since you won’t have the sweetness of the bananas, add some natural sugar-free sweetener to balance the sweetness. Blend in 1 to 2 tablespoons of erythritol or allulose, for example. Use my grain-free granola as a topping. Nut-Free – Use soy milk or oat milk, or hemp seed milk. High-Protein – Use protein milk like soy milk or protein-fortified almond milk. Serve with high-protein seeds and cereals like protein granola and hemp seeds.
