Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 6 oz frozen pitaya (dragon fruit)
- 1/2 small frozen banana (about 3 oz)
- 1 cup frozen mango chunks
- 1/2 cup coconut milk or almond milk
- Optional: 1 tbsp maple syrup or vanilla extract
- Toppings: granola, sliced banana, kiwi, blueberries, coconut flakes, nuts, seeds
Instructions
- Add frozen pitaya, banana, mango, and milk to a high-speed blender.
- Blend on low to medium until you reach a thick, soft‑serve consistency (add more frozen fruit for thickness, more liquid for thinner).
- Pour into a bowl immediately.
- Top with your choice of toppings: fresh fruit, granola, coconut, nuts, seeds.
- Eat right away for best texture.
- To make ahead, freeze base in containers without toppings; thaw 10–15 min and stir before adding toppings.
Notes
- Use fully frozen fruit for the thickest texture.
- Substitute dairy-free yogurt or protein powder if desired.
- Adjust sweetness using ripe banana or maple syrup; often no added sweetener needed.
- Customize fruit mix: pineapple, peaches, or berries work well.
- Store leftovers (without toppings) in freezer up to 3 months.
