Happy mid-week, friends! It’s been rainy and dreary here in Oklahoma, but thankfully, this Dragon Fruit Smoothie Bowl is here to brighten up your day!
I LOVE smoothie bowls (Matcha Smoothie Bowl, anyone?). Mainly because I love really bright and colorful things, and smoothie bowls are like the epitome of bright and colorful! But since I own a health blog and all let’s say that I love them because of the nutrition. <—— No, but for real! They’re loaded with nutrition, y’all!
Watch how I made this Dragon Fruit Smoothie Bowl:
Toppings for You Dragon Fruit Smoothie
As far as the toppings go: sliced almonds, coconut shavings, mulberries, goji berries, and homemade granola are my go-to’s for smoothie/breakfast bowls (head over to the Shop page for more of my go-to’s)!
In this case, I got all crazy and adventurous by adding star fruit, kiwi, blueberries, cotton candy grapes (have you tried these???? crazy!), coconut shavings, and granola. I know! Living wild over here! Cody’s always like….Wow….and I’m like…YOU’RE WELCOME. 😉 For 2 reasons:
- Because of the fact that it’s visually appealing. When you live in a world of constant food photos, a dreamy, colorful bowl like this is GOLD!
- Because adding a ton of nutrient-packed ingredients in small amounts versus adding a large amount of one ingredient offers way more nutrition to our bodies! More on this later.
Buying Dragon Fruit
Since dragon fruit is all like $$$$$$$$$$, I purchase it frozen. It’s not exactly a local fruit in Oklahoma, so you do whatcha gotta do! And personally, I’ll take my frozen dragon fruit where I can get it. I have no problem with frozen fruit!
I’m sure we’re on the same page about that, because you’re busy like I am and don’t have the time or don’t want to spend the mulla (<—haven’t used THAT word in ages) to go on an adventurous dragon fruit hunt.
Top Tips for Making a Dragon Fruit Smoothie Bowl
- You can use fresh or frozen but frozen will probably be cheaper so I recommend using that
- A frozen banana will help give a thick and cool texture
- Top with any fresh fruit, nuts or seeds you like
- I used plain Greek yogurt but you can use your favorite yogurt
