Dragon Fruit Power Bowl
This vibrant magenta smoothie bowl is as delicious as it is beautiful. Dragon fruit doesn't have much flavor (but loads of color), which lets the other ingredients, like delicately sweet almond milk, tangy kombucha, and tart pineapple shine.
You can't go wrong with tropical fruit toppers, but pineapple is quite striking when paired with pistachios and bee pollen. Fizzy kombucha makes the texture of this easy smoothie bowl quite unique and addicting, as well as super healthy.
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 4 ounces frozen fresh pineapple chunks (about 1 cup)
- 3 ounces pink dragon fruit flesh (from about 1 pink-fleshed dragon fruit)
- 1/4 cup kombucha
- 1 ounce fresh pineapple slices (about 1/4 cup)
- 1/2 tablespoon unsalted roasted pistachios
- 1 teaspoon bee pollen
Directions
- Whisk together almond milk and chia seeds in a serving bowl. Chill until thickened, about 15 minutes, whisking once after 7 minutes.
- Combine pineapple chunks, dragon fruit, and kombucha in a blender. Process on high until smooth, about 1 minute.
- Push thickened chia mixture to one side of serving bowl; pour smoothie into empty side. Garnish with fresh pineapple slices, pistachios, and bee pollen.
