Ingredients

For the Base:
2 cups (300g) frozen dragon fruit (pitaya)
1 frozen banana (120g)
1/2 cup (75g) frozen strawberries
3/4 cup (180ml) unsweetened almond milk
1/4 cup (48g) coconut sugar
2 tbsp (32g) cashew butter
1 tbsp (15ml) fresh lime juice
1/2 tsp (2.5ml) vanilla extract

For Toppings:
2 tbsp (10g) unsweetened coconut flakes
1/4 cup (40g) fresh berries
2 tbsp (15g) granola or chopped nuts
1 tsp (5g) chia seeds (optional)

Make it Good For The Gut (Optional)

Add 2 tbsp plain kefir for live probiotics and tangy balance that complements the tropical flavors. Include 1 tbsp ground flaxseed for omega-3 fatty acids and prebiotic fiber. Add 1 tsp collagen peptides for gut-healing amino acids and extra protein. Top with prebiotic-rich toppings like sliced banana or a sprinkle of inulin powder.

Remix Options

Sugar-Free: Replace coconut sugar with 2 tbsp (30ml) pure maple syrup or 1/4 cup dates for natural sweetness. Protein Boost: Add 1 scoop vanilla protein powder for post-workout nutrition. Tropical Twist: Use frozen mango and pineapple instead of strawberries for pure tropical flavor. Nut-Free: Replace cashew butter with sunflower seed butter or tahini for nut allergies. Green Dragon: Add 1 cup baby spinach for hidden greens without affecting the beautiful color. Chocolate Version: Add 1 tbsp cacao powder and use almond butter for rich chocolate-dragon fruit combination.

Good To Know

Dragon Fruit Selection: Use frozen red-fleshed dragon fruit (pitaya) for the stunning magenta color – white-fleshed varieties won’t give the same vibrant hue. Ninja Creami Method: For ultimate texture, freeze mixture in Creami container 24 hours, then process on “smoothie bowl” setting for ice cream-like consistency. Blender Tips: Start with less liquid and add gradually – you want thick, spoonable consistency, not a thin smoothie. Serving Temperature: Serve immediately for best texture, or freeze 10 minutes to firm up if too soft. Color Preservation: Dragon fruit’s color is heat-sensitive, so keep ingredients cold for best vibrant color. Texture Tips: Frozen banana is key for creaminess – fresh banana will make the bowl too thin.

steps

Prep:

Chill serving bowls in freezer 10 minutes before serving. Let frozen fruit soften slightly at room temperature for 5 minutes for easier blending.

Blend:

Add all base ingredients to high-speed blender or food processor. Start with less almond milk and add gradually for thick consistency.

Process:

Blend until completely smooth and thick like soft-serve ice cream, stopping to scrape sides as needed. Add liquid sparingly to maintain thickness.

Creami Option:

For Ninja Creami, pour mixture into pint container and freeze 24 hours, then process on “smoothie bowl” setting for ultimate creamy texture.

Serve:

Divide between chilled bowls and smooth tops with spoon. Arrange toppings in attractive patterns for Instagram-worthy presentation.

Enjoy:

Serve immediately for best texture and vibrant color. If too soft, freeze 10 minutes to firm up before serving.
