Notes
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. Meal Prep: Store leftovers in an air-tight container (e.g., mason jar) in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Alternatively, put all the chopped fruit (mango, dragon fruit, payaya, and pineapple) into a freezer-safe bag and freeze for up to 3 months. When you're ready to enjoy, add contents to the high-speed blender with a splash of coconut water and blend until smooth and creamy. Pour into a bowl and add the other toppings.
