# How-To Steps:

03 - Divide the smoothie base evenly between two bowls, pouring gently to maintain thickness.
04 - Top each bowl with fresh dragon fruit, mango, toasted macadamia nuts, coconut flakes, chia seeds, and mint leaves as desired. Arrange toppings in sections for visual appeal.
05 - Enjoy right away while the smoothie base remains thick and frozen. For best texture, do not let sit for extended periods before serving.
