Smoothie bowls remind me of summer and that’s really why I love them. They are also just so versatile and quick to put together for breakfast, lunch or a snack. So here’s a recipe using frozen pitaya, a.k.a dragonfruit: a beautiful bright pink superfruit that’s rich in magnesium, high in fiber, is a great source of iron, and is rich in antioxidants. (The list goes on so you can read more here).

Smoothie Base (for 2 servings):

• 1 cup frozen pitaya
• 1 frozen banana
• 1/2 cup frozen berries
• 2 scoops Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides (or any other neutral flavored protein powder, or you can omit)
• 1/3 cup almond milk, coconut water or apple juice

Toppings (Have fun with your toppings. Below are some ideas for toppings that you can use, but mix and match to your liking!)

• Chia seeds
• Hemp seeds
• Peanut butter or almond butter
• Granola
• A drizzle of honey
• Coconut flakes
• Fresh fruit (berries, bananas, pineapple, etc.)
• Almonds
• Cacao nibs

Steps: 

1. Blend together the frozen pitaya, banana, frozen berries, collagen peptides and milk/water/juice until smooth and thick.
2. Pour the smoothie base into a bowl and top with your favorite toppings.
3. Enjoy right away. If you’re planning to save it for later, I’d recommend refrigerating the smoothie base, then taking it out and putting the toppings on when you’re ready to eat.

Quick, easy and healthy! My favorite kind of recipe. Have fun with the toppings and enjoy!
