This tropical smoothie bowl is very healthy. It's high in fiber and rich in several micronutrients. Vitamin C is important for collagen production and the immune system. The combination of Vitamin C and E are known as "chain-breaking antioxidants," which are great for scavenging free radicals. The different B vitamins help with different metabolic processes in the body.
This recipe makes two very generous size smoothie bowls.
How to make a tropical smoothie bowl
Place peeled and chopped dragon fruit (pitaya), papaya, mango, pineapple, and ice into a high-speed blender and blend until smooth and creamy (see Pro Tip below for a thicker consistency).
Pour the smoothie into a bowl, add the toppings—pineapple chunks, chia seeds, unsweetened shredded coconut, sliced almonds—and enjoy!

Store leftovers in an air-tight container (e.g., mason jar) in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Alternatively, pour the smoothie mixture into ice cube trays, freeze, and then transfer to an air-tight freezer bag and store for up to two months. When you're ready to enjoy, add frozen smoothie cubes to a blender and blend at high speed.
Pro Tip
If you prefer a thicker bowl, we recommend freezing the cubed fruit first and omitting the ice. An alternative is to add a tablespoon of chia seeds to the blender, which will give the smoothie a thicker consistency.
If you like your smoothie a little on the sweeter side, you can add a chopped date as a topping. Alternatively, you could add 1 to 2 tablespoons of Simple Homemade Date Syrup to the blender with the fruit.
