Expert Tips To Make It
Most smoothie bowls use frozen bananas to make them thick. In an effort to have some options, this dragon fruit protein smoothie uses pineapple instead. However, know that you can sub it out if you wish.
Frozen mango works great in place of pineapple. Likewise, frozen strawberries replace raspberries well.
If using strawberries know that the color of the smoothie bowl will be lighter.
This dragon fruit smoothie bowl makes 1 large or two smaller servings. Since the only liquid is coconut milk, if you want to scale back on calories for a large serving, split the coconut in half with almond milk.
Smoothie Bowl Toppings
We love adding fresh fruit or something like honey almond granola to this dragon fruit protein smoothie and then serving it with a dairy-free gluten-free bagel on workout days. Kiwis or berries are our favorites.
However, the following options are great too:
- Crunchy almond granola
- Protein granola
- Dairy-free chocolate ganache
- Toasted coconut flakes

Dragon Fruit Smoothie Bowls FAQs
Smoothie bowls are a great way to take in lots of antioxidants and nutrients at once. However, you want to make sure that they include a protein in them. Otherwise, you won’t be full long. This dragon fruit smoothie bowl has 28 grams of protein which makes it a great way to kick off the morning.
Instead of pealing the dragon fruit, slice it lengthwise. Then, use a melon baller to scoop out the flesh.
You need to make sure that you’re using some type of frozen fruit, mangos, frozen bananas, and pineapple work best. From there, only add as much liquid as absolutely necessary. Otherwise, your smoothie bowl will be too thin. Finally, blend a little lower intensity-wise and scrape if needed.
