Why this smoothie bowl rocks (for real)
Let me tell you why I keep making this one on repeat.
It’s stupidly refreshing.
Dragon fruit is light, not heavy. Perfect when you don’t want that “ugh, I ate too much” feeling.
It looks fancy. But it’s easy.
People think you worked hard. You didn’t. Your blender did.
It’s naturally sweet.
No weird aftertaste. No sugar crash. Just clean, fruity vibes.
It fills you up.
Way more than a drink. You actually need a spoon. And that matters.
Ingredients (nothing complicated)
Here’s what you need. Simple stuff.
Frozen dragon fruit (pitaya)
This is the star. I always use frozen. Fresh is fine, but frozen gives that thick, scoopable texture.
Banana
One ripe banana. It adds creaminess and a little sweetness. I used to hate bananas in smoothies. Honestly. But here? It works.
Milk of choice
Almond milk is my go-to. Coconut milk, if you want it richer. Even regular milk works.
Toppings (your call)
Granola. Coconut flakes. Chia seeds. Fresh fruit. Or all of them. I don’t judge.

How to make it (step by step)
No stress here. Just follow this.
Step 1:
Add frozen dragon fruit to your blender.
Step 2:
Toss in the banana. Broken into chunks. Don’t overthink it.
Step 3:
Pour in a little milk. Start small. You can always add more.
Step 4:
Blend.
Stop.
Scrape the sides.
Blend again.
You want it thick. Like soft-serve ice cream. Not soup.
Step 5:
Pour into a bowl.
Top it how you like.
Grab a spoon.
That’s it.
My best tips (learned the hard way)
Too thin?
Add more frozen fruit. Never more liquid.
Blender struggling?
Pulse first. Then blend. My trick is rocking the blender a bit. Gently.
Want it extra smooth?
Let the frozen fruit sit out for 2 minutes before blending. Just 2.
Taste flat?
A squeeze of lime wakes everything up. Trust me.
Fun variations to try
Because eating the same thing every day gets boring.
Protein boost
Add Greek yogurt or a scoop of vanilla protein powder.
Tropical style
Throw in mango or pineapple. Sunny vibes. Even on a bad day.
Chocolate mood
A teaspoon of cocoa powder. Sounds odd. Tastes amazing.
Green version
Add a handful of spinach. You won’t taste it. Pink still wins.
