A quick and easy fresh dragon fruit pitaya bowl with kiwi and coconut flakes, perfect for a healthy breakfast or snack that is light, refreshing, and packed with natural energy.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup dragon fruit (pitaya), peeled and chopped (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 medium ripe kiwi, peeled and sliced
  • 1 small banana, frozen or fresh
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened coconut flakes (toasted lightly if preferred)
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon honey or agave syrup (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice

Instructions

  1. Prep the Fruit (5 minutes): Peel the dragon fruit by cutting it in half and scooping out the flesh with a spoon. Peel and slice the kiwi, and slice the banana if fresh.
  2. Blend the Base (3-4 minutes): In a blender or food processor, combine 1 cup dragon fruit, banana, Greek or coconut yogurt, and fresh lime juice. Blend until smooth but thick enough to hold a spoon. Add a splash of water or almond milk if too thick.
  3. Sweeten (optional, 30 seconds): Taste the blend and add honey or agave syrup if desired. Blend briefly to combine.
  4. Toast Coconut Flakes (optional, 3 minutes): Heat a dry pan over medium heat and toast coconut flakes, stirring often until golden and fragrant.
  5. Assemble the Bowl (2 minutes): Spoon the pitaya blend into a serving bowl. Arrange kiwi slices on top, sprinkle chia seeds, and finish with toasted coconut flakes.
  6. Final Touches: Optionally add fresh mint leaves or a sprinkle of granola for extra crunch.

Notes

Do not over-blend to maintain a creamy texture with small chunks. Toast coconut flakes fresh for best flavor and crunch. Store pitaya blend in an airtight container in the fridge up to 24 hours; store coconut flakes separately to keep crisp. Can be layered instead of blended for a parfait effect.
