Dragon Fruit Mango Coconut Bowl (Printable)

Vibrant tropical bowl with creamy dragon fruit, sweet mango, coconut, and crunchy almond topping ready in 10 minutes.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Smoothie Base

01 - 1 cup frozen dragon fruit (pitaya) cubes
02 - 1 cup frozen mango cubes
03 - 1 small ripe banana
04 - 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut milk
05 - 1/4 cup coconut yogurt or plant-based yogurt
06 - 1 tablespoon maple syrup, optional
07 - Juice of 1/2 lime

→ Toppings

08 - 1/2 cup fresh mango, diced
09 - 1/4 cup fresh dragon fruit, diced
10 - 1/4 cup toasted coconut flakes
11 - 1/4 cup roasted almonds, roughly chopped
12 - 2 tablespoons chia seeds
13 - Fresh mint leaves for garnish, optional

# How-To Steps:

01 - Place frozen dragon fruit, frozen mango, banana, coconut milk, coconut yogurt, maple syrup if using, and lime juice into a high-speed blender.
02 - Blend until completely smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed. The mixture should be thick and scoopable. If too thick to blend, add a splash more coconut milk.
03 - Divide the smoothie mixture evenly between two serving bowls, using a spoon to spread it into an even layer.
04 - Arrange the toppings decoratively over the smoothie base: fresh mango, fresh dragon fruit, toasted coconut flakes, roasted almonds, chia seeds, and mint leaves if desired.
05 - Serve immediately with a spoon while the smoothie base is still thick and frozen toppings remain cold.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Its like eating sunshine for breakfast without the pretentious cafe price tag
  • The toppings stay crunchy while the base stays perfectly thick
02 -
  • The first time I made this I added too much liquid and ended up with soup, so start with less and add more only if absolutely necessary
  • Your blender will thank you if you add the liquid ingredients first, then the frozen fruit on top
03 -
  • A high-speed blender really does matter here, unless you enjoy listening to your regular blender struggle and possibly overheat
  • Roasting your own almonds takes 5 minutes and makes a massive difference in flavor compared to raw ones
