Why You’ll Love This Pitaya Smoothie Bowl

It’s naturally dairy-free, gluten-free, and loaded with tropical flavor. The combination of frozen pitaya (dragon fruit), banana, and mango makes it smooth, sweet, and refreshing without any added sugar. It’s also a great way to sneak more superfoods into your day and it keeps you full and energized.

What Kind of Pitaya Should I Use?

Pitaya comes in a few varieties, but for the most vibrant color, go for the frozen pink-fleshed kind. These are often sold in smoothie packs at health food stores or even your local grocery. The white-fleshed variety works too, but won’t give you that bold, magenta tone that makes this bowl so eye-catching.

Ingredients for the Pitaya Smoothie Bowl

The ingredients for this smoothie bowl are simple but thoughtfully chosen. Each one plays a role in texture, color, or nutrition. You want everything to be frozen for the thickest and creamiest result.

• Frozen Pitaya Pack
• Frozen Banana
• Frozen Mango Chunks
• Coconut Milk or Almond Milk
• Toppings: Fresh berries, granola, shredded coconut, chia seeds, kiwi, sliced banana, or a drizzle of honey

How To Make the Pitaya Smoothie Bowl

Step 1: Blend the Base

Add the frozen pitaya, banana, and mango chunks into a high-speed blender. Pour in a small splash of coconut or almond milk to get things moving. Blend until thick, smooth, and creamy.

Step 2: Adjust Consistency

If the mixture is too thick to blend, add a bit more liquid a little at a time. Be patient and use the tamper tool on your blender if needed to help it along without over-thinning.

Step 3: Serve and Top

Spoon the smoothie into a bowl and smooth out the top with the back of a spoon. Now comes the fun part: arrange your toppings however you like. Make it a rainbow or keep it minimal—totally up to you.

How to Serve and Store Your Pitaya Smoothie Bowl

This recipe yields one generous serving or two smaller portions, making it perfect for solo breakfasts or sharing with a friend. Serve it immediately after blending for the best consistency. If you need to prep in advance, you can blend the base and store it in the freezer for up to 2 days. Let it thaw slightly and re-blend before serving to revive the creamy texture.
