Scale

Smoothie Ingredients

  • 1 ripe banana, sliced and pre-frozen
  • 1/2 cup pink dragonfruit, cubed and pre-frozen
  • 1/2 cup ripe mango, cubed and pre-frozen
  • 1/4 cup frozen raspberries
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1/2 inch piece fresh peeled ginger
  • 2 scoops unflavored protein powder (collagen or pea protein)
  • 1 teaspoon dragonfruit powder (optional)
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup liquid such as coconut water or almond milk, more as needed

Toppings

  • Dried coconut flakes
  • Chopped toasted pistachios
  • Crumbled freeze-dried raspberries
  • Dried goji berries
  • Dragonfruit pieces (shaped with a melon baller)
  • Puffed quinoa

Instructions

  1. Prepare Frozen Fruit: Ensure all fruit components like banana, dragonfruit, mango, and raspberries are sliced, cubed, and frozen ahead of time to achieve the ideal cold and thick smoothie bowl texture.
  2. Combine Ingredients: Add the frozen fruit, lime juice, fresh peeled ginger piece, protein powder, optional dragonfruit powder, Greek yogurt, and liquid (coconut water or almond milk) to a high-powered blender or food processor.
  3. Blend Smoothie: Start blending on low speed, using a tamper if available, to help incorporate the frozen fruit evenly. Gradually increase speed until the mixture is smooth and flows freely through the blades, forming a thick smoothie consistency suitable for bowl serving.
  4. Adjust Consistency: If needed, add a little more liquid to reach your preferred thickness, ensuring the smoothie is thick enough to eat with a spoon rather than drink.
  5. Serve and Top: Scrape the smoothie into serving bowls. Artistically sprinkle it with dried coconut flakes, chopped toasted pistachios, crumbled freeze-dried raspberries, dried goji berries, fresh dragonfruit balls, and puffed quinoa to add texture, flavor, and visual appeal.

Notes

  • Use ripe and fresh fruit for the best natural sweetness.
  • Freezing fruit ahead of time is essential to achieve the thick and creamy smoothie bowl texture.
  • Adjust the amount of liquid based on desired smoothie consistency.
  • Protein powder can be substituted as per dietary preference or skipped for a lower protein option.
  • Get creative with toppings—any combination of nuts, seeds, and dried fruit works well.
  • Dragonfruit powder is optional but enhances color and flavor.
