Ingredients For Pink Pitaya Smoothie Bowl

Pink Pitaya (otherwise known as dragonfruit). I use one fresh pitaya and 1 tablespoon of pink pitaya powder. You can use more pitaya powder if you are unable to purchase it fresh. Full of antioxidants, vitamins and high in fibre it is the perfect ingredient for a healthy breakfast.
Bananas. These can be used fresh or frozen. When frozen they make the smoothie more like ice cream which is perfect for summer. The banana sweetens the smoothie so there is no need to add any sweeteners. However if you do like it extra sweet then add an extra banana or add raw honey to taste.
Oats. I add oats to most of my smoothies. They are slow energy releasing which keeps you full for longer so you can survive until lunchtime without snacking.
Unsweetened Coconut Milk. I use coconut milk as it adds a lovely tropical flavour to the smoothie. But you can use any daily free milk.
Mixed Berries. These combine really well with pink pitaya and the darker the berry the better! Use frozen berries with frozen bananas to turn it into nice cream.
Coconut Flakes and Mixed Seeds. These add texture and are the perfect topping along with fresh berries.
Protein Powder. While not essential I always like to add as much protein as I can to balance nutrients and keep you going for longer. Always use unflavoured as some protein powders can be laden with sugars or ruin the overall taste of the pink pitaya smoothie bowl.
