Ingredients

Gather these ingredients to create your Dragon Fruit & Mango Smoothie Bowl:

  • 1 cup frozen dragon fruit (pitaya)
  • 1 cup frozen mango chunks
  • 1 banana, sliced
  • ½ cup coconut milk (or almond milk)
  • ½ mango, diced (for garnish)
  • 1 kiwi, sliced
  • ½ dragon fruit, cubed or scooped into balls
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 tbsp shredded coconut
  • Edible flowers (optional, for garnish)

Step 1: Blend the Smoothies

The base of the smoothie bowl is a creamy blend of dragon fruit and mango.

  • Method: Blend the frozen dragon fruit with half the banana and ¼ cup of coconut milk until smooth. Pour into a bowl. Rinse the blender, then blend the frozen mango with the remaining banana and coconut milk.
  • Tip: Use minimal liquid for a thicker consistency that holds toppings better.

Step 2: Create the Swirl Effect

A swirl effect elevates the presentation and adds visual contrast.

  • Method: Pour the mango puree over the dragon fruit base. Use the back of a spoon or a skewer to create swirling patterns.
  • Tip: Keep the movements gentle for a natural, seamless blend of colors.

Step 3: Add the Toppings

Thoughtfully arranged toppings turn this bowl into an aesthetic masterpiece.

  • Method: Arrange the kiwi slices, mango cubes, and dragon fruit pieces along one side of the bowl. Sprinkle with chia seeds and shredded coconut, and add edible flowers for a tropical touch.

Step 4: Final Presentation

Presentation brings this smoothie bowl to life.

  • Serving Dish: Use a white ceramic or pastel-colored bowl to highlight the vibrant hues of the ingredients.
  • Background Setting: Set the bowl on a light wooden surface, scatter tropical fruit slices around it, and include a wooden spoon for a natural, tropical vibe.
