Ready in 5 minutes, this slurpable dragon fruit smoothie bowl makes healthy eating a breeze and is a great way to start the day! Look for frozen dragon fruit in your supermarket and blend it with creamy frozen bananas and beverage-style coconut milk (which is much lighter and lower-fat than canned coconut milk). Starfruit is a particularly fun topping, but if you can’t find it, try golden kiwifruit, additional chopped dragon fruit, or any fruit you have on hand. A light sprinkle of shredded coconut plus chia seeds and oil-free granola add chewy-crunchy textures that pop against the cool smoothie backdrop. This recipe makes two delicious bowls; for one serving, be sure to halve the recipe. 

Tip

This recipe calls for beverage-style coconut milk, which you’ll find in the refrigerated section of your supermarket, alongside other plant-based milks. If unavailable, feel free to substitute with another plant-based milk such as soy, oat, or almond milk.
